pull out the silver battery for 7 mins on the mother board with >>>>>>>>>> all power unplugged <<<<<<<<<

 

[Sam Henden]

5 beeps is cpu failure. Could be socket, other motherboard component or cpu.

 

[Andrew Menkveld]

I'll try taking the CMOS battery out for a bit. Thanks!

Unfortunately reseating the CMOS battery didn't work

Try reseating your cpu and check all of the pins on it. If it is older it is possible you cpu went bad. What cpu do you have?

 

[Karl Allen]

5 beep is error beep. see if you can find out what 5 beeps mean for your motherboard model.

swap out ur cmos battery for a new one and make sure bios date and time are set correctly

7 beeps would be your cpu, so its obviously not that
