Computer Clock always incorrect!!

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

While booting press your "Delete" key... a blue screen will show up this is your BIOS settings screen... your mouse will not work here so you need to use your arrow keys to select and your enter key to open... Usually the first selection has the time setting arrow to it open it with enter then page up and down to set the clock... to exit the BIOS hit your "F10" key then enter key...

DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE IN THERE!!!

the little watch battery in your case on the Motherboard keeps the BIOS settings while the computer is off but,,, it keeps other settings too so that is why I say it is prob not the battery... if it still does not keep time I will instruct on the Battery replacement...

LOL! You would not believe how much money I make from people who monkey around with their BIOS settings. I'll have their machine fixed in less than 15 minutes, but since I pick up and deliver I charge them for a full hour.

I agree with the bios battery. My PC is doing the same thing. I'm just too lazy to give a damn. I've swaped batteries before. It's no big deal. Just pop your case open and take a look. It should be the only big watch battery on the mobo.

Change your BIOS battery. It will be located on your motherboard inside the computer. You cant miss it.

If it is not the battery he will lose all BIOS settings because the Battery maintains them... Do what I said first!!!
