Question My CMOS Battery fell from my hands and monitor displayed this

[Blapps]

So I was just repeating my CMOS battery since a black screen showed on my screen when I boot it up. This has happened for at least 3 times now.and this is the first time this happened to me. When I booted up my pc after placing the CMOS battery, it showed this error screen which I think the reason behind is because my CMOS battery fell from my hand. Did I damage it?



Sadly I don't know how to attach a photo but I can tell you what's showing on the screen. It's pretty long but I can send it if you guys need it for more information, but what I can summarize is

"Reboot and Select proper Boot device

or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"

Virtually zero chance dropping a battery would damage it.

Battery could be dead.

Battery could be upside down or improperly inserted for whatever reason.

You may have unknown problems completely unrelated to battery.

I'll check that out real quick.

Battery is not upside down. Any other ideas why this could be happening?

Also, I just turned my pc on I didn't even touch f2 but it straight up went to Bios got any idea why it could be happening?

"Reboot and Select proper Boot device".

That could be dozens of things.

Do I understand this correctly?

You did not do anything at all with your CMOS battery until AFTER you got the above message.

Is that correct?

If not correct, provide exact sequence of events.

Yeah, I did not do anything on the CMOS battery and there is a continuation on the "Reboot and Select proper Boot Device if you did not notice. I can tell you the sequence of events sure.

So, I bought a gpu online few days ago it's a AMD Radeon 7470 by the way. I'm actually so stupid that I never even thought of researching before buying it. The only thing in my mind was I'm going to buy this gpu since its cheap and looks like perform decent on my research. After I received it I instantly installed it on my pc. After I have done that, my monitor showed no display at all so I decided to do things that I found on YouTube such as removing CMOS battery for 5 minutes, cleaning ram, placing display cable both on gpu and motherboard. But when I removed the gpu, and Booted it up, it showed the screen like normal. So I was messing with it and trying to learn what might be the problem. A day passed and I tried to tweak things with it , but I decided to give up and remove the idea of getting a gpu and so I removed it to boot it up just using my pc without the gpu BUT it automatically opened the BIOS which I don't know the reason why. I restarted the pc, same problem. But it after restarting for multiple times doing some small tweaks such as going to recovery mode or just continuing it showed the black screen with random things like I said on this post. Leading to this. By the way, I also uninstalled my original Intel Graphics Drivers since people say I should download it first before installing gpu.

Update: Literally it's not on the screen I was originally talking about on this post but rather stuck on the BIOS system. When I restart it, it just keeps on going to BIOS. Any idea what I could've done?

I fixed it, there was this wiring that I forgot that I removed since earlier I couldn't remove the gpu since it hidden under the gpu so I removed that wiring so I could remove the gpu. I placed it and it booted. Thanks for telling this information. Just re-read all the things you said then I remembered about it😓. My bad if I wasted your time.

What CPU?

What motherboard?

Sounds like the battery was removed long enough that the settings in BIOS were lost.
