Yes it could be the PRAM battery. They cost $10 at radio shack. It could
also be bad memory. There are programs out there, some of which Im sure are
free, available for testing memory.
I just replaced a battery on an old 8600 that was having the same
"ding less" startup (or non-startup) problem. If you can't remember
when you replaced the battery you're probably due. Other symptoms of
a weak battery include a blank monitor.
BTW our Radio Shacks charge $15.
