Can a dead CMOS battery prevent the motherboard to post? I recall seeing a low battery message before my board stopped working.
 
yeah, i've wondered about the cmos battery to, how long does it normally last? and when it does run out do we have to get a special battery or just any the same size?
 
What I did was clearing the CMOS using the jumpers a few times, but afterwards the board just wouldn't post anymore... Could that have affected it?
