Only Boots When CMOS is set to clear.

Yep sounds like that to me. Do you mean you have to:
1) Clear it
2) Set CMOS back to normal
3) Boot
or
1) Leave it in (what you think is) the CMOS clear position
2) Boot while the CMOS is still in the "clear" position
If it's the latter then I think it's just confusion as to which way around the CMOS jumpers are.

Yes, most boards go on this :-
You have 3 pins ( Numbered 1 2 and 3 - no surprise )
And running the board NORMALLY will mean that a jumper will go across pins 1+2 and there will be nohtign on pin 3
Now, in order to clear the CMOS, you need to power it off, take thejumper from Pins 1+2 and put the jumper on to pins 2+3... Leave it there for a second or two, then take it off and put it back onto pins 1+2
Then you switch your PC back on.
I assume that you have not put the jumpers back to their original position.
In fact, taking what you say into account, I know for a fact thats what you have done.

I have been having this for some time with a p.o.s. computer that hasnt worked propperly from the day i bought it.
Replacing the batteries did nothing and then it started stalling followed by completely freezing. Now even resetting cmos doesnt help. Fans whirl and nothing!
Replaced my motherboard with same make & model and no luck
Good luck getting it sorted!

Maybe its the processor/memory/graphics card/psu?
I've tried booting without the gfx card in and it still sits there and does nothing (except the fans whirl which would nice on a hot day, if i wasnt in scotland that is). Even took processor out and it was happy as a bee whirling away quietly. Only thing i can't test is the PSU, which was replaced not so long back (had pc issues with it turning off and PSU fans dying,,, strangely that never stopped once replaced).
