  Some BIOS manufacturers allow you to disable all halts on errors.

  That will be reset to default if the CMOS battery is dead and power is removed though.

    Not on a flash based motherboard (so basically almost everything recent). On modern systems usually the only thing the battery powers is the clock, which is why they have a separate reset to defaults header/button/switch.

    (The CMOS memory of old is replaced with flash memory, al la SD Card or flash drive)
