Computer Clock always incorrect!!

[orangeman]

Every single time I turn off my computer and turn it back on my PC's time seems to always get reset. Like it'll always be 01/01/2001 and like 12:00 am everytime I get on my fuckin computer. I have to change it back to the right date and try to get the time to get corrected without any errors every single time I get on my damn computer. I can't seem to figure out whats wrong so I was wondering if anyone else know how to help?

double click on your computer clock. click on the Internet time tab.
click the scroll arrow and highlight

TIME.NIST.GOV
then click appy.
thats better then windows time and it automatically updates.
Thats the same place those atomic clocks are tied into.

You have to change the watch battery inside of it.

Yeah go into the BIOS and see what the time is in there... If the Batt was dead he prob would have more serious probs...

I always do this but every time I restart my computer the time and date still gets messed up. And I had this computer every since '03 .

Btw I'm not really into all that other stuff so I don't know where to look so could some one help me to know where to look for this "dead battery"? lol

Double click on the time.

Then click on time zone at the top.

And choose your time zone and it should work from then on.

Lucifuge is right, I used to have an old ass pc and had the same problem until I changed the battery on the motherboard--it's about the size of a quarter and shaped like a watch battery. It's not a big deal though, doesn't require a degree in computer science or anything.
