well i start my computer up
i am running windows xp on a rebuild pc
anyways
i start it up
and it comes to windows loads FINE
my pc clock is wrong it is set in 2003 so i reset the clock to the time it should be i shut down the pc. start it up again and it reset again
so then i went into the system bios reset the clock in there it worked fine in windows i shut down pc and startup again
and it reset to 2003 again
what is going on
any HELP would be appreciated because i cant CRACK this problem...Your cmos battery is flat.Does the same behaviour appear in the BIOS?i replaced the battery and it still does it
so its not the battery the old one and the new one are brand new batteries for the motherboardya the bios has the same thing
december 2003
and the time is way off tooHas the battery got a good connection, it's easy to bend the little arm that holds it.well i SEARCHED around and i was able to find a bios update for my motherboard should i try that maybe?i am using the computer without any problem right now
besides the clock resetting everytime...
the CONNECTOR for the battery is not loose i have to push in the tab with a phillips head screwdriver to get the battery out so no its not looseI can't see that fixing it.
Is the battery in the right way?yes the battery is in the right way with the print of it face upI don't want to harp on this but your symptoms are classic flat battery (or bad battery connection).
Do you have a small spingy arm over the top that presses onto the battery?
Is there tension on it?wait wait so what your telling me is my motherboard is *censored* then...
sounds like a pain to fix itnope their is just a clip holding the battery in no armWho said that?nevermind
look is their some software upgrade i can do to fix my pc clock problem
or is this going to take a upgrade of some sort?
