Bios settings to default? Are you sure you've used the bios settings for the CPU you have? Are you sure they are correct? New battery? More stuff to check.

I will check back in the afternoon with new disks.
@Frank: The Bios is identifying the cpu and the HD correctly.
Also I already spend it a new battery.

Yep! If I remember correctly, but I could be wrong, on one of the last BIOS pages it says something like "Set to Default"?

yes its one of the last options in bios menu. Thats how I always started fixing hardware problems of the machines I didnt know in the past. If you dont know whats wrong, I thought its best to start with default values first. Not good?

Anyway now I found the database website with a lot of pdf's to check.
So the next step will be to compare the bios settings with the ones given in the bios-settings-pdf. :-)
Before this I will go and purchase some 3,5" disks.

Do you think I could go further with the following steps if the bios settings won't work?
- make a MS-DOS bootdisk
- hardware test on harddrive with scandisk
- probably take it out, clone it, and check what files are on it
- format a new harddisc and jumper on 32GB use
- Make 5.1 OS Bootdisks and try to install new OS

I really appreciate your help. Good to know I'm not alone :-)

I would start with the correct BIOS settings for the processor you have.

Crash is correct. Default BIOS settings are not the right settings for the d8b. Check the database.

Now I changed the bios settings exactly the same values like given in the pdf for older motherboards.
But still same problem:
