... But if I remove the motherboard battery and put it back in, it boots.
Why is this?

By removing the battery, you reset CMOS settings to default so BIOS uses valid data.
But, if the battery is near end and the system is powered off for several hours, it may happen that something in CMOS (actually, it's just RAM backed by battery) becomes corrupted and who knows how BIOS handles it.
TL;DR Replace the battery with a new one.

I'm a freelance computer animator and I had the unfortunate experience of accidentally knocking a flower vase onto my laptop. I'm not sure what kind of crazy miracle grow was in the vase but it totally killed my computer.
This was my worst nightmare because:
A) my laptop was basically my main tool of trade and I was essentially cutting my arms off in terms of work life.
B) I was smack in the middle of 2 simultaneous important projects, and all my project files were on my machine. Due to my own mindless stupidity I did not back up my work somewhere.
I immediately scoured Google for some computer/hard drive help and I found Misterfix. They seemed to me the best option.

Probably cold boot problem, did you OC it? Or is auto overclocking enabled? Try disabling it.
PC: Yes. Console: No.
