Hi there

My time on my PC keeps increasing, it has gained 7 minutes in 2 days, does anyone know why the time keeps getting out of sync?
Could it be the PC Battery?

The battery is to keep the CMOS chip energized
when the machine is turned off. Does it gain time whether it is on or off. Some mother-
boards are not that well manufactured that the
on board clock is derived from one of the
processor clocks, and may not be that accurate.
