Well, I awake the next morning 7:30am to find my PC off.
....perfect time to install the new CMOS battery! Ok, no problem.
Took a couple tries to get it started (because of bios settings according to the event log), but it booted up just fine!
....and then I find my computer off again 9:30pm. Its 10:10pm and I got to the desktop a couple times, just in turn to lose power and have to start all over again.
I don't think the problem was the CMOS. Now what?
I'm going to leave it "on" all night with the "system board failure" lights blaring. I had luck starting it up again last time. I think it might be time to get another mother board for this thing...
