Back it up first, assume that you'll end up with a big metal paperweight, then proceed.

3. Step 1 in the 'Mystery of the Dead Computer': was it the CMOS? |
|
The answer: Probably not.
Also probably not the onboard battery.
So far I thinks it's either the CPU is toast or the whole mainboard has gone bad. Fortunately I have a spare CPU of the same socket type AND a spare motherboard.
It will live, dammit!

Never killed a main board, not super techie, just lucky.
