Reseating my motherboard battery fixed a windows boot error, is this a sign of failing parts?
So I woke up this morning and my pc would not boot. It would go into advanced repair, but not good past diagnostics, instead booting the "Restart to repair" screen each time.
A few details about that: it would not accept any mouse and keyboard inputs while booting or in the restart screen. It would only let me boot bios, not safe mode, my keyboard would flash on for like a second or 2 while booting.
So I went in and removed the mobo battery and reseated it and now it works just fine (for now). My question is: is this a sign that my mobo is failing?
OS is windows 11 pro, and mobo is a Mag b550 tomahawk max wifi (ms-7c91)
