no... yeah i su.ck at trying to explain things. okay there is this feature on mine it's called System Refresh. By default it's set to automatic. and yeah, i turned it to disabled and the computer wouldn't power up.

by removing this battery, the CMOS (BIOS) was cleared and i was able to reset the important settings such as the time and date, plus etc stuff. suggested remove time 1/2 hr.

i used to have a machine that forgot after 30 minutes after it was off it. This got annoying to reset that machine from time to time. dos based machine too.
