I've come across computers that foul up when powered up with a dead CMOS battery. I get the impression that some BIOSs have parts of themselves powered only by the battery, and don't get anything from the main power supply.
Well, of course. What do you think powers the CMOS when the computer's off? However, the clock will start to run slow long enough before the battery dies as a warning.
