I keep getting a CMOS error on the LCD when the PC tries to POST. Evertying else checks out ok. I have cleared the CMOS and even gone as far as to remove the battery from the MOBO. Any ideas?

Are you setting everything to default, meaning no OC's on anything? I'd strip everything out but the CPU, ram and video card. See if it will boot up and sit there giving the "no disc" message. If so I'd suspect the drive or its cable.

Nothing....I havent had the PC start once with the board so its default out of the box settings. Everything clears POST though..
