    In order to get the machine to post I have to clear cmos.
    I have resetaed cpu and stripped out components etc. but the machine only works until you restart - then it doesn't post and in order to get the bios up again you need to clear cmos but once its on it stays on and works perfectly.

    The mobo is an asus p5kc
    I have flashed the bios using asus update utility
    Could it be the cmos battery? If the battery was dead would it cause this issue?

    The rest of the spec

    quad 8200
    2 gb 1066mhz ram
    2 x samsung 1 tb drives
    akasa 450w psu

    Is it f**ked or am I missing something

    If the battery was dead, it wouldn't keep the settings, and you'd need to set the time every time you booted.

    Have you tried taking out the CMOS battery, booting it up, and then rebooting, to see what happens?

    yeh i would also check you wires to your power/reset buttons.

    TBH I would just have the ram and cpu in and a vga cable then use a jumper to start on on board switch if your lucky and the add a piece every time. see if that helps or at least narrow it down.

    I would also check your jumper CMOS settings

    Bust as previous says doubt its a battery.

    leave, ram in slot, 0, remove other ram dimm.
    Could be faulty ram, or try reset bios to factory default.Could you put in another graphics card, disconnect all dvds,hardrives from mobo.it would be worth putting in a new cmos battery ,make sure voltage is identical to old one.try bios mode= fastboot off, memory test on, slow boot on.
