I believe your alternator is bad as well. Your computer will start turning off any aux. power (dash lights, stereo...) to keep the motor running which means battery isnt being maintained by the alternator.
the starter is normally located beside the engine block with the gear drive protruding into the transmission housing. If you cannot see it in the front of the engine it may be mounted in the rear of the engine. In most cases you can follow the large red wire from the battery... it will go to the starter.
Check your cables neg to engine block, positive to starter. Spark, fuel, oxygen needed to start. You ruled out battery, next place after cables is your starter.
Either the cable from the battery to the starter is shorted or the starter motor itself has a dead short or the starter relay has a short. As soon as the key is turned, the starter relay is closing and all the power of the battery is heading for the short to ground. That's why the power seems to be lost.
