    I dont know whats going on. The last few days my time clock on my computer isn't working. It starts at 2:00pm and continues to 2:59pm, then goes back to 2:00PM. Because of it not operating normally, my DATE is always messed up too. Anything I can do to fix this?

    How old is your comp.? I know that back in the good old days, there was a battery (usually a CR2032, if I remember correctly) on the mboard that retained CMOS and clock settings. If the battery is dead or dying, you might want to try replacing that battery.

    This was my first thought, too. But I'm old school. Do they not have batteries on the motherboard any more? if not, how are they keeping the system clock powered when the computer has no power?

    To be quite honest, I haven't installed an mboard in a computer in almost two years (I know, amazing huh?). But judging from this photo from Newegg, the battery is still there (right next to the PCI slots)
