what causes a Precision POST boot loop
A Precision motherboard is in a POST boot loop. The machine powers on in a loop by attaching the power cord and without activating the power button. The motherboard was reset with a jumper and it entered a boot loop once the reset was applied. The machine was functional before the reset. The CPU, one RAM stick and the power supply are attached to the motherboard. The power light does not generate an error code. What triggers a POST boot loop?

A couple reasons for system to boot or reboot:
* Power management in BIOS settings was set to ON after the system recovers from power outage.
* A pending job was set to run on the next system power on.
The conditions were not met for system to stay on, the system would restarted to run diagnostics and/or repair. Therefore, boot loop would occurred.
Only you knew the actions, events leading to the boot loop and once being identified, a resolution can be attempted. Otherwise, assemble the system with enough known working components, performing hardware reset, and set BIOS to default value before any OS and software setup

Hi
The CMOS coin cell battery appears to not be putting in an appearance.
