Dell XPS 210 Cant enter Bios Gives Black Screen

Subject is self explanatory I have a Dell XPS 210 that wont enter the Bios and I get constant Floppy errors when booting up because I dont have a floppy. 

When I press F2 or F12 to enter the bios I get a blank black screen. Ive tried replacing the CMOS battery but nothing at all now it just gives me a Time error which I cant fix cuz I cant enter the bios funny enough.

Any help would be amazing thanks.

See the Clearing CMOS Settings in the Manual   HERE

   and try clearing to see if it helps.

What happened prior to this?  Did you update the BIOS?

I figured replacing the CMOS battery all together would reset the CMOS settings but ill give that topic a try. I actually hadnt used this computer in months I pulled it out cuz I needed another comp and everytime I turn the computer on it gives me a Floppy Disk read error before going into windows quite annoying.

 

I tried flashing the bios but same thing.
