In the past weeks I have noticed that my ctx computer's clock was always off. I would reset it in windows and it would eventually run behind. I know that when the cmos battery starts to go, this is the first sign of it. I opened up the machine to look for the battery but couldn't find it, I have emailed the mfg but I still haven't heard from them. Well, I went in to the cmos and changed the time in there, went to save. and the machine just locked up. Now it sort of boots up, but after a few mins it will lock up. So I wonder if a bad battery could make the cmos go bad??
I have an older minipost card which is a
diagnosis card, and according to the code and the post card manual, a c3 on award 4.5
bios means to display the setup, of course I could have misunderstood the book. I know that if the cmos battery would not work, I would need to specify my cmos settings everytime, but is it possible the lack of it could damage the cmos/bios??
Just wondering....
