    I have a Gateway SX2370 Desktop PC and been having problems of late. when I reboot it, it comes up to a screen saying F1 to continue and delete to go into bios. When I go to F1 to continue my clock and date get all messed up. Some suggested that I change the battery *should look like a cell battery* and I looked inside but have no idea what it looks like. Could someone help me

    I really don't know. I have never come across this problem before of all the years that I had a computer so I don't know what it looks like

    knock off the caps lock as not deaf!!
    look for a silver disk on the motherboard that is about 20mm\.75" in diameter.
