had my computer disconnected so i could check the settings on a different tower. when i hooked my tower back up i just get a loud continuous beep and when i check the LED's on the mb the lights indicate Checking CMOS checksum and battery. According to the motherboard book. Could a faulty battery prevent the computer from booting?

Its been known to happen. Try replacing the battery and we can go from there.

The power to the video cord wasn't plugged in all the way, i had to remove the card to pull out the hold HD i left in there. I found this out after i changed the battery already. Once i did change the battery however the system wouldn't start up till i went in and changed some features on the bios (?) all i did was reset the clock in there and now it seems to work fine. Is there anything else i was supposed to do in bios because of removing the battery?
