Mine won't keep time, help!

I just noticed my unit does not keep time. I bought this to use during my infrequent travels & just recently came to this conclusion because I don't use all that often (have 5 other PCs at home). I remember 1st correcting the time in the bios (1st use) and then later in windows, then later windows still showed the wrong time, so I corrected it again. today I booted this up & still got the wrong time, it was slow by 3 hours. I rebooted & corrected it in the bios again.

I did a search on google and did not find similar issues, but I did find this forum :mrgreen: does anyone else have this problem??? I used CPUz to find out my bios is version 3202. I went ahead & flashed it to 3206, HOPEFULLY this resolves it. I bought this on 6-26 @ walmart. my receipt states refunds/exchanges are good only for 15 days :roll: any advice? do u think my bios battery is dead/dying?

thanks for any advice.

windows will syncronize its clock over the internet. May could turn this off or chance a setting?

 

you hit it my man!!! I looked at my date/time settings in control panel and sure enuff it was both set to Pacific Time and to sync w/windows internet time. It has been corrected to Eastern. That explains it all. will update if I see any further issues (doubt it).

 

no problem, easy fix
