Bill,

   With the new battery installed I set time and date, specified the boot
device and tried booting. That failed. When I restarted the system and
entered the BIOS settings they were as set.

   The reset jumper was not installed. I have not used a CMOS reset jumper on
any system I've built. Haven't understood why I would want to.

   Seems likely that the motherboard has a flaw somewhere.

Thanks very much for your ideas,

Rich
