Weird boot prob

[spazze]

ok i have this wierd prob where when i take my computer apart to clean it i have rlly hardtime getting to to start without a back screen with a blinking dash in the left uper corner on my computer I have had some good luck with unplugging my motherboard and plugin it back in. once i get it started it seems to start fine everytime i start it until i clean it again. i do have a prob with the cmos battery where it doesnt work and i get a low voltage error everytime i start but i dont thin that effects it at all. please help.

Welcome to Seven Forums spazze.
It seems obvious you have a loose connector somwhere and hit it when you open your case. Check the cables to your drives if they are SATA they can often get loose and you might be hitting them plugging the board power back in. Get a new CMOS battery, they are about $2 and less.

It sounds like you need a new board if the CMOS is broken, that hold all BIOS info when powered off.
