Hello,
I was just curious that what is the relation between CMOS battery and PSU ?
My working PC suddenly refused to start/power up. (PSU fan not spinning too)
I thought it was bad PSU so i removed connectors from MOBO and tried starting the PSU with paper clip..that worked(PSU started with fan spinning). So i cleaned the connectors for dust and re connected them (all the connectors) but no luck..tried powering on using paperclip on MOBO instead of Cabinet SWITCH....same problem continued.
But when i removed the CMOS battery and placed that gain,system started as it should be and in no time i was up with Windows...
So i was not getting this logic ..please somebody clear my doubts...
(most of the times bad cmos battery throw error on POST or always load defaults..but it wont stop PC/PSU from starting ..? )
regards
