Re: System Won't Power Up Anymore

Back in the summer I could power off my computer and come back hours or
days later and turn it on with everything being fine. A month ago,
maybe when the weather started getting cooler, the system beeped at me
when I turned it on. I found that the fan speed monitor was set for a
fan speed higher than what was running and that the changing the fan
speed lower limit to allow it to spin slower would keep the warning
beeps quiet. If figure that this is OK since the hottest thing in my
system, even during the summer, is only 44C. After saving my change in
my BIOS all was well, that is until weeks later when I shut down for a
couple days again. The beeps were back and my BIOS seemed to need to be
rewritten, and all was OK again, or so I thought. I shut the computer
off while out of town for the weekend. Now it won't power up again.
This time it won't even activate the monitor, so I can't get to the
BIOS.

Help? What can I do?

My system motherboard is an ABIT AV8-3rd Eye running an Athlon 64-X2.

CMOS battery?
