Problems Starting Up Computer After A Shutdown

Recently, my computer has been having problems starting up after I have shut it down for a few hours. The computer will load the Phoenix AwardBIOS screen and shows the computer quick-self test, then it'll restart and do it over again. Sometimes it won't restart again and it just stays at a black screen. Then I'll have to either turn off the computer from the power button in the front or the switch in the back. It's never done this before just for these past two weeks. I also have no problems restarting, it goes right past the quick power on self-test and continues booting.

Computer Specs:

AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.2 Ghz
AZZA KT133 motherboard
512 PC-133 SDRAM
GeForce4 MX 420 64mb
Soundblaster Live X-Gamer 5.1
Windows XP Pro with Service Pack1
VIA Hyperion 4-in-1 drivers v4.49
 
Hmmm..... I do not know. My reflex would be sure try it. But that is because I would expect if the boards used two different battery types, one would not fit in the other.....

But I am not certain.

If you are really interested, search up your two mobo's, and see if you can get the technical specs of the CMOS battery.

Or, the details might be stamped into the batteries themselves. If you can determine that the two batteries have the same voltage (and amperage preferably, but that is almost never stamped on the batteries.) then I would say go ahead and try. But this is just a guess. Try it at your own risk.
