[SOLVED] Power Supply Error

Wombat104 · 11-25-2008, 06:42 AM

Hi all, the past 2 times I have booted I get the following message "system battery voltage is low" I can either press a PF Key to go to setup or another to keep booting.

This is the original power unit and the computer is probably 4 or 5 years old.

Is this something I need to worry about? Everything seems to be functioning normally.
