low system battery voltage
I have a Dimenision 8300 desktop. Occasionally when I boot up the computer, I get a message saying something about low system battery voltage. What does this mean and what is the solution?

It means its time to replace your system battery on the motherboard.
You can read the info HERE
The battery is a standard coin cell CR2032 battery available at camera shops, radio shack or just about anywhere that sells coin cell batteries

Davet50, thanks for the information. I had no idea that a desktop had a battery. I'll go get one and let you know how it goes. Thanks again

I changed the battery in my 8300 last month - just follow the instructions in the owners manual. It's a snap.

I installed a new battery and it was very easy. I have re-booted a couple of times and I have not seen the message yet. We'll see. Thanks again to every one for the help.
