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?
