Dell Inspiron 580 5 Beep, No Video, No Post Issue

Swapped out 1 gig 4x of Ram with 2 gig 4x Ram. Ram was recognized correctly but system was continually powering down and restarting. Now no matter whether I use original or new ram I am getting 5 beeps which indicates cmos battery. I replaced with 2 different batteries and have also tried to boot with NO battery in place but continue to get 5 beeps with NOTHING on the screen. If I remove all ram I get two beeps which indicates no ram detected. If I add just one ram stick I get the 5 beeps again. Any suggestions?
