The backup battery for the BIOS settings probably needs to be replaced.
Get the manuals for the computer online, if possible, to help find this (location and type).

A bad video card/ card connection use to cause stuff like that.
Because of some interlock thing.

Keyboard, monitor, video card, memory.
Make sure somebody didn’t ‘borrow’ anything.

On board battery most likely.
To: lafroste
Your CMOS battery probably died. That is where the system info is stored. You might pull that battery out and put in a new one. It is usually a flat 2013 battery if I remember correctly. That would be the cheapest thing and first thing I would try.

My bet is on the battery as well. Cheap fix.
To: lafroste
Unplug and replace every cable connector in the computer

Battery....
Time to get a new computer. You can get one for Christmas.

Try a new battery. But usually it will boot up regardless. Hit the F1 key when it starts beeping. Make sure all the PCI cards are in and boot it back up.

You said it sat severalbyears unused. · As others mentioned, first thing to look at is Motherboard battery. · Check vents to power supply, might be a condo for vermin and dust. · Get rid of accumulated dust inside the box. · Get some of this. Get the real thing not some inferior Chinese product.
