You certainly don't have to make an entry because there was no financial transaction. However, if the relative gave the computer to you and you put it in the business, you could record the asset at a fair value and credit Loan From Stockholder. This way you get two tax benefits. First, the company gets a deduction for depreciation expense; and second, you get a tax-free distribution when the company pays the loan.
