I am getting this problem from last few days , everyday in the morning I start my PC the BIOS setup appears and my computer date and clock is also gets reset.
Is it because of the battery is gone or any other cause ?
Can I replace it by my self I have to call the technician ?

Yeah,this is happening because of battery failure.If you are using Desktop computer then you can do it yourself..just go at computer or watch store and ask for lithium battery..it would coast around 45 rupees.open your Cabinet and you can see the battery place on botherboard..just press the small pin and battery will pop out..replace it with new one and you are done.

As others have said the CMOS batteries are quite cheap and easily replaced but with any electrical equipment if you're not confident doing it yourself then don't as generally thats when it goes wrong. If after that it's still resetting the bios / time & date then you may have to investigate a motherboard problem.
Goodluck

I would spend a couple of bucks and buy an new CMOS battery. They are easy to replace and It should solve your issue.
