Constant code 88 on DFI DK 790FXB-M3H5

I am currently experiencing a constant code 88 on my DFI motherboard. I have not had a successful boot in nearly 2 weeks; no post, video, anything. I have changed out the only part available to me to test, the video. Switched out a Radeon 5850 for a Nvidia 7900GT and the problem persists, if anything, its worse because it will blink a code 88 even when powered down.
I have tried to contact DFI through both email and phone with no success. I'm pretty sure the board is dead, as a code 88 states "either a cmos error or a bad NorthBridge"
Any recommendations? I have already tried resetting the cmos through every means described in the manual and I have tried letting it sit with the battery out overnight. Taking the battery out got me a reaction on the video aka it recognized the card, but no post and only worked twice before becoming ineffective and resuming the constant code 88.
I am extremely frustrated at this point and with the lack of response from DFI, I would highly recommend that you stay away from their products.
