Both of these boards have previously worked with the current hardware. I tore them down in one case because I had a cable that fried (wasn't connected to anything other than the PSU at the time so I know it is not the hardware being damaged) and in the other case to retrofit back to air-cooled from watercooled. The Striker does stop on the RAM Init phase of the boot up (shows on the LCD poster on the back) but like I said, it seems as if the BIOS is not even intializing at all (it gets past CPU Init but stops at RAM). That is what I thought about the battery but figure the BIOS resetting every time would be kind of a pain.
