Windows clock changing?

[newbuilder14]

Hi guys,

Ever since I reset my CMOS, or maybe even before for all I know, my clock resets sometimes, though rarely.

This can't be common, I know that, so I am asking what could be causing this?

Could my CMOS battery be loose? Even if it was loose wouldn't I be having more problems than an occasional clock change?

Anyone else ever experienced this?

Thanks.

A battery is always my first look-at for clock problems. You can check it's voltage, or simple pop a new on in since they so cheap anyway.

Why are you needing to reset CMOS, and how do you do it without removing the battery? Every time I pull a battery out and move the jumper over the pins, I have to reset the clock. I expect it. Are you opening the case or using some kind of software?

for your time change it restart or reset from a power surge or turning off the computer the wrong way and does your clock reset while you are running windows or when you turn on your computer you find that the clock isn't right
