Okay here's some great news, I finished working on the ASRock motherboard a few minutes ago prior to testing it out to see if it would boot, I put a spare BIOS battery in the battery socket, and made sure everything was connected up, I then moved the case with the ASRock motherboard in it to underneath the computer desk, plugged in the monitor, mouse, keyboard and mains power, switched the power supply switch on the power supply to on, then pressed the power button on the front of the case.....and.....the motherboard booted up, I pressed F2 to go into BIOS Setup and this is the screen I got:
This indicates that:
1, The CPU is good.
2, The Graphics card is good.
3, The Power Supply is good.
4, The Motherboard BIOS is good.
And therefore....
5, The Motherboard itself is good.
