Battery

It's a usual first indication of a battery in need of replacement. Don't forget to ground yourself well.

Losing computer time can actually be related to many factors. If it is your battery, more serious settings could be lost, most importantly your CMOS settngs. No two PC's will keep the same time. So, if your time loss is within a few minutes per month, it may not be your battery. Some PC's run fast or slow, just like any other device that keeps time. Try atomic clock sync, a freeware program that loads with windows and syncs with Universal Atomic Clock. You can download it from worldtimeserver.com. It's really quite accurate.

Batteries are a cheap solution. I agree that I would try that first. Something else that can cause computers to lose time, is if you are part of a network, computer clocks are synched up with the server's clock when users log on. Hope this helps.

Thank you for all the help. I am satisfied with this.
