The clock could be bad, or the battery could be bad. The battery runs the clock when the power is off. The same battery is used for the clock and CMOS setup data. Try replacing it. Sometimes the clock circuits go bad, and the only fix is a new motherboard or send it back the mfgr. for repair (which normally means that they exchange it). Kind of like replacing a car because a tire has a bad valve stem, but if the clock circuit is really bad, there is not much else that you can do. ben wrote: >My pc clock seems to be slowing down by about 6 hours a day!
