Just to clarify for you; the CMOS battery is what keeps all of your settings saved under BIOS. /occasionally/, BIOS can cause the OS to not load. but it's typically only on Nvidia chipset boards.
Well im just speaking from experience,i have had several computer where when the Clock battery went dead (For some reason,one motherboard i had wouldnt charge the clock battery LOL) it would just sit at a black screen with a cursor in the middle and that's it.
It just sounded like what the OP is going through,so i decided to post
Yet no offence taken,but i would highly recommend the OP try what i said.

an easy way to tell if your cmos battery is dead/dying is to keep an eye on the date and time in your bios, that's almost always the first thing to go when a battery is dead/dying, usually if it's keeping the date and time it's kept all the other info as well...
