HP Pavilion 713c

According to the HP web site, an image of the MSI motherboard in your system is
here:

It looks like the battery is right next to the IDE drive connectors. It is a
C2032 3v lithium coin-sized battery cell, and should be easy to remove and
replace.

If the system is still under warranty, and replacing the battery does not fix
the problem, you have good reason to return the system... Ben Myers

Thanks for the information. I found and tested the battery(3.02 Volts
from a rated 3.0 Volt battery). Since the voltage was marginally high I
felt that the battery might be actually producing less under load so I
replaced it. The new battery tested at 3.245 Volts. So far; it seems
to have corrected the problem. Time will tell. Thanks again.
