Clock Broken

[OverlordMondo]

My clock is being a dildo. It didn't update with daylight savings time or whatever (which left me very confused until I found out about daylight savings time four days later) and whenever I manually set it ahead an hour, it resets to dumb! Wtf?!

Punch that fag clock in the face.

 

Ok, seriously though... could this be a sign of something far worse? Like your BIOS failing or something of that sort?

Replace teh CMOS battery. When you change time in Windows, it's reflected in the bios.....if it's losing time, likely your battery is on it's way out.

CR2032 type.

Well, mine didn't update for DST either. Do you still have XP service pack 1? If you do, it didn't update because DST was moved this year (What a great idea, assholes! ) and only service pack 2 or later got the patch to fix the time.

My clock used to lag behind, too, so I got this: Atomic Clock Sync

it's like lets make the clock fail so i can get an upgrade weeeeeee.... but if he replaces me hes a dead man!!!!

In the old days if the clock stopped while the computer was off, definitely the battery going flat.
