Clock & startup problems

by hogwildz . Updated 22 years, 9 months ago

I have 2 problems, not sure if they relate to eachother or not.
1. My clock will not keep correct time, when I shutdown at night and restart in morning, the clock is hours off. If I do a shutdown and start up minutes later its fine, only happens when its off for a few hours or more.
2. I hit the power switch to turn the comp on and nothing. Its a case edge mid tower. Now the funny part…If I tap or smack the side of the case near the switch, It will fire up usually. I am thinking on trying a new 5 dollar switch. But with the clock problem I am wondering if I have power supply problems. The system is about 2 yrs old.
System info:
P4 2g
512(2-256) rambus ram
Win XP Pro
Intel 850MVL MB
Case Edge P4certified case
I forget think the power is 350w
any help would be greatly appreciated
Rob
