Howdy back, Sounds like your problems may be a bad battery. Take it out and put some test leads to it to see if its putting out 3.6 volts--if it's under 3 volts it's definitely in need of replacement.
When inserting some cards -and certainly a processor, press your cuda button and let go. Some folks say you should do this before you put a processor in--I not sure. I don't know if your mother board has a cuda button on it, but if it does, you should either press and hold that down for a few seconds--or at least press command-option-"P"-"R" keys simultaneously when you hear the boot-up chime. When you hear the chime again, let go of the keys. You will probably have to reset your system clock. I've also found that leaving the battery out while taking a walk, or a coffee break, and then putting it back in after I get back has done wonders for the mother board's bios as well as my own personal bios ;^). This I sometimes also do with Award or AMI bioses on Wintel boards when they are giving me heck. --Tim Sullivan.
