Should be ok, but consult the manual of the generator. How is its output voltage and frequency tolerance specified?
Even the mains voltage fluctuates (what does your power distributor warrant?), hence devices which are designed to operate at a nominal voltage of say 230VAC/50Hz like your PC have to tolerate voltage deviations of +/-10% minimum, plus tolerate another -5% voltage drop due to the in-house installation, so +10%/-15% deviation from the nominal 230VAC should be no problem for your PC.
Just don't run the gasoline generator indoors .
