puter clock re-set. - this is bugging me...

[mel999]

Hi, - My personal puter at home op system XP Pro for some reason the clock has decided to be 2 hrs. 20 mins slow. I have never altered the time so how has it decided to lose time just like that. Its no big deal cos I can easily adjust it to correct time but stupid little things bug me when I don't know the answer to it.

Anyone had this happen to them?

Is it consistently being slow, meaning you have to reset it more than once?

A few weeks ago a balloon msg advised me that my computer time was off. A check revealed it was 2 hours slow. I corrected it and it hasn't happened since. (XP Pro) Reason unknown.

Glen9999 - Nope,this is the first time its happened. I have reset it now so will let you know if it loses 2 hours again.

If it continues to be slow, try changing the time in your BIOS. If it continues my next step would be to replace the battery on the motherboard.
