dx79sr post code 00 fail to boot, no f2 no f10 to bios screen

I have had this rig for the last year. This morning it was powered up but would not wake up. Rebooted to get a 0_ in lower right corner. Rebooted after pulled power five + times, sometimes POST code 00 or 69. Cannot get into Bios at this point. I pulled the battery and am letting it sit for an hour. i will relocate the usb mouse and keyboard and will retry. I have another system so i can pull parts and troubleshoot.

System has worked flawless for the last year.

Here is the update.

I put battery back in, it gave me a prompt for CMOS detecting no battery. Replaced with new battery and computer booted up.

Intel has a strange way of telling people that they battery is dead. Strangest part is that none of my BIOS configs are set to default. Not sure why I pulled the battery to clear anything. Anyhow, I am thankful I only lost 3 hours of work today.
