Default boot failu system halted

hi,
i have two PC's. one was not turning on so i removed the Mobo battery from
each one to see if that was the problem. well now i have a new problem. the
one that i know worked is now not working any more. after putting the battery
in to the working PC and turned it on windows would not load. i get a black
screen with what looks like a RAM check. there is a counter going from 0- 512
mb. after that is done i hear 3 beeps and then the message of boot failed:
system haulted. there is an choose to hit F12 to boot from the network which
i have tried. i get a blue box with what should be options to select a boot
drive. however there is none listed. i have reinstalled windows in the
attempt to fix this. this did not work and in hind sight probably should have
know the data on the HD was not currupt. so i need H-E-L-P!!!!!!
