9/10 it’s the battery. Buy a NEW one and try it, then repost. Both batteries could be dead or dying, until you try a new one there’s no point speculating.
Check all the voltages that are listed in bios to see if they are in spec.
The battery (maybe called vbatt) should be at least 2.8 volts.

It’s a problem that could have many answers., but the process of elimination can’t begin until he’s first tried a new battery.
The battery, checked with a digital multimeter, while installed and the computer UNPLUGGED from mains, MUST show 3V or a bit above that. If it shows UNDER, like 2.95V or less it is not good.
