The spec: Q6600, Abit IP35E, 460GTX, 850W Antec PSU.

The problem: Since yesterday the computer will not boot up. Press the start button, and nothing happens. It does not show BIOS menu on the monitor. If I unplug the PC, take out the little battery, then it will boot up just fine. Shut it down, then it will not boot again until I unplug and take out the battery from mobo.

Help please?
 
Sounds like either a power issue or mobo issue. Got another PSU to test with? Though, I'm leaning more towards mobo issue.
 
Thanks. I am leaning toward mobo too.... this just confirmed my suspicion...
