Second opinion on assumed mobo issue

[jamston]

When your suggesting booting with the battery out and doing an ATX reset, do you suggest any hardware is left in?

The mobo is an Asus P5B

I'd leave the video card in, any others should come out. I don't think you need to pull the battery for this, just the power cord.

Yeah just the same, slight spin flashing power. Ah well

Thanks for giving it a shot!
