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.

Hi @zacharyflint ,
What is the model number of the desktop?

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?

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.

5 beeps means there is a fault with the CMOS battery.
Have you checked that the battery is inserted the correct way into the clip?
Is the battery clip damaged?
Can you read the battery voltage with a multimeter connected to the clip?
Is the motherboard damaged near the battery holder?
