My computer clock is always wrong.

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/My computer clock is always wrong.

I keep having to reset the clock in Windows (XP Home SP2) because sometimes when I turn the computer on the clock is way off. I figure I may have a virus, but I haven't noticed anything else wrong. Also, there hasn't been any recent power-outages. Could it be because I haven't reinstalled XP in over two years or something?

I would have suspected a dodgy CMOS battery. Shouldn't be a problem to replace it, with a bit of luck. So long as you have the manual or at least know the make and model.

Yea, I've got the A8V-E SE motherboard. I'll take a look in the manual.

Oh, and I have a problem with my dual monitors: My secondary monitor (17' Benq FP731s, 3ish years old), seems to run like a 30MHz CRT every other hour or so. Very obvious flashing like. (on its way out?), and my primary 19' Samsung SyncMaster 997MB CRT (also 3ish years old) is in perfect order except once or twice a day it displays a some kind of full screen image or scrambled desktop image for a fraction of a second. I have the latest ATI drivers for my Radeon X1950 Pro.
