Laptop time/date keeps changing !!?

by ispeck . Updated 17 years, 5 months ago

I recently swapped the drive on my Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop, from the factory 40gb to a 60gb. I would consider my self intermediate and have some knowledge of PC’s. However, when I reloaded win-xp and all my other programs etc., something weird started happening about a week after then installations. No weird programs, pretty much alll the same things I had previous, didn’t experience any errors or anomaly’s during that process. But now the clock keeps jumping forward in time, either when it is on or off…it got to the year 2012 once…????
I keep resetting it, to no avail…does anyone out there know what it is? I have had batteries go dead before, but that, I would think, means it would lose time, not go forward in time.
…driving me crazy…any help.

Ian
