What do you mean "at the side says "CR1"?"

Yeah like in the motherboard there are hundreds of letters in white all over it... There is a light on and the nearest like "word" is CR1..like meaning that the light is on because there is a problem with the "CR1" or something like that

It's very unlikely that a dead CMOS battery would cause a complete shut-down and start up failure. A dead or low battery normally causes a pause during boot up with CMOS checksum failure, press F1 to continue (or similar words) appearing on screen.
CR1 probably is the battery though.
