No Monitor Signal

Hi everyone. I just wanted to get a quick opinion on what you all think is wrong with my desktop. My computer gave me a "bad bios checksum error" so I tried reflashing the bios and rebooting my computer. After the bios flash the monitor kept saying "no input signal." I then tried taking out the CMOS battery for a while with no PSU power and reconfigured my BIOS, but every time I did this and saved the settings and exited, the "no input signal" message would come back on. I then took out the battery again and instead of manually configuring the BIOS, I selected the load "optimal settings" preset. This would allow me to reach the Windows boot screen, but then I would get the "no input signal" message again. The computer never gets to boot Windows fully because I would leave my speakers on and never hear the Windows welcome sound. My monitor is not the problem because I can use it on my laptop, and I don't think my GPU is the problem because I swapped the GPU with my old GPU and the same results happen. I am suspecting a bad CMOS battery but I would still like your opinions. Thank you

MOBO: asus m2n-mx se plus
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 (x2)
GPU: AMD HD 7750 (Non OC)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965BE (Non OC)
PSU: Crummy stock HP PSU :p

@M0j0jojo did you ever try replacing your CMOS battery? I am too lazy to go to the walgreens right across my house right now to try that, but if I had to replace my Mobo I wouldn't mind either. It gives me an excuse to get a better PSU and GPU LOL

I have an AOC 2343FK. Should've went with an ASUS for HDMI ports and better refresh rate but whatevs. I got the Monitor new for $100 and the no HDMI support is my only real complaint about it. I hope your new MOBO works out great for you though

Problem sorta solved. I bought a new CMOS battery and now the I can log into Windows, but sometimes when I turn the system off and restart it, I have to clear the CMOS again or else it will not boot all the way. I guess I'll buy a new mobo (need one anyway) soon but for now I can game again :D.

Edit: How do I choose my own answer as the solution to close this thread?
