Clock Problems

sup223 · 06-06-2008, 06:08 PM

I dont know why but for months my clock has never been right. I manually change it sometimes and it's way off within a few hours. I even sync it with the internet options it gives you sometimes. Once in a while it will actually let me sync with one of them but most of the time it wont for some reason. But even when it does let me sync with an internet clock it's wrong within a few hours again. I am about to pull my hair out because its driving me crazy, someone please help. SERENITY NOW!

Thanks for any help in advance!

the bios battery is a different battery on the motherboard that keeps the system time and basically defines the computer at boot. Its one of those flat quarter size batteries.
