Product: Compaq 100 Desktop PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Whenever I attempt to turn on my PC it turns on the computer, but my monitor, keyboard and mouse are not reacting to the bootup, screen remains black, keyboard lights off and the red light below my mouse also off.
Other notes: Computer fan makes an unusually loud sound upon bootup and while in action.

Turns out this issue was fixed by removing the CR2032 MB Battery from the motherboard, should I replace it though?

Yes.

 

If you do not replace it, the time\date and many other settings in the  BIOS will not be kept and will reset each time you start the  PC. 

 

I do recommend that you replace it with a fresh CR2032 battery.
