Well, you would know it if you have battery backup, and indeed my question
was irrelevant.
I have to believe that the battery is the CMOS battery. And, since your
computer clearly has power, that battery clearly has no direct impact on
computer performance as it is merely to maintain "memory" when the computer
is off. If the battery was completely run down, people on this list could
tell you exactly what problems that could cause, although I believe failure
to boot is one of the symptoms. Maybe you could replace the battery and see
what happens? (Although that might be like closing the barn door after the
horse is gone.

It was my father's PC, so no, I don't think so. I've been tinkering with
PCs for several years now, but this is something totally new. I've never
seen this before. It wouldn't boot at all with a boot disk or the boot cd I
have.

Do you have battery backup?

Subject: Warning: Battery low...
I was using a refurbished Pentium III Desktop (no name). During the boot =
process, I kept getting a message "Warning: Battery low. 2.26V or V 2.26"=
. I went into the BIOS setup and changed the CPU speed to manual. Now the=
computer will not boot. What happened? Could this be related to the CMOS=
chip and if not, what battery is the system referring to?
