After CMOS battery change pc doesn't post and beeps 5 times
I have already tried changing the RAM, and reseating the GPU. Everything lights up, fans, keyboard, mouse, ethernet. However I cannot get anything but a grey display and 5 beeps indicating the battery is low, I changed it 3 times all 3 times with brand new batteries and it has not worked once. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Es esta una buena pregunta?
Hi @zacharyflint ,
What is the model number of the desktop?
- de jayeff
The model number is 4JL5NM1. However, upgrades have been made on the system. I have a 500 watt bronze PSU, Nvidia GTX 580 GPU, Intel core i5 760 CPU, 8gb of Viper RAM ddr3, and some random Hitachi HDD.

Hi @zacharyflint ,
Can you try a different graphics card?
Going by your description (you gave the serial number), it's a Dell Vostro 430 (modified by you),so there is no onboard graphics. Is this correct?
Another question, has it ever worked OK?
- de jayeff
The system has been modified by me. There is no onboard graphics I can swap another GPU in to see if this is the issue. The system worked flawlessley up until it needed a cmos battery change. When it got changed it never stopped giving me the 5 beeps for the battery error.
