Date & Time clock

[NotquiteanooB]

PC gains a day per week on the Date & Time. I can correct it in BIOS and the PC time will match it for a few hours, then it gradually gains time. The PC is no longer overclocked; but I do leave it running 24/7. What would be the cause ??

Scott, there's no use in leaving the jumper shorted overnight, assuming you don't leave out the step that you left out. Which step would that be? Well, after unplugging the PSU and removing the CMOS battery, hold in the power button for ~30 seconds. After 30 sec (and most likely it would only take a second or two), your caps will be as discharged as they would be after having had the battery out for a month. Try it, it works every time.

This isn't be brain surgery...
Spend a couple of bucks and buy a new CR2032 battery. :roll:

Make sure you have it on the correct time zone also. I had mine set on central time without even realizing it for months.

or you could just setup your computer clock to sync to atomic time every hour or so.
