From my experience, any computer older than 3 years, it is good to replace the BIOS/CMOS battery. Most desktops I've seen use the CR2032 battery. Do take a look at the BIOS/CMOS and write down the basic information.
Just remove power cord, open case, and with a non metallic device just move the compression spring and the battery will pop out. Replace the battery with same type if this not a CR2032 unit. Then replace cover, replace power cord and boot, and go into BIOS/CMOS. Correct date and time, then ensure the system has discovered all the components. Exit and reboot. Should be good to go.
