    Must have been WELL dirty to have completely stopped it from working at all! (They usually just get hot and shut down, not stop alltogether)

    Glad you're sorted- I mess about overclocking my pc and if I put a setting too far often get blue screens -they are never fatal "bsod"- and sometimes I have to re-set the cmos or my pc behaves like yours -first time I thought I'd killed it!
    I haven't had a problem yet with touching the battery and the shorting pins aren't always that near to the battery. If I'd told you to stick a screwdriver between two bits on your motherboard I don't think you would have , but this is quickest for me!
