My computer clock keeps changing time. It goes to the same time each time it changes. It can be running and it does this. What is wrong?

I had something like that once a long long time ago and I don't know if it would apply anymore but it was a battery issue. The internal battery was dead so the clock was resetting to a default time every restart. This was at least 10 years ago so I'm not sure if a modern system would encounter the issue.

Yep...they still use a battery for maintaining the time. It's not supposed to reset on newer systems unless the power source is removed...but I've seen it still happen.

Fortunately the batteries are pretty cheap. Just pull it out and take it with you so you know you get the right size. You can even find them at your local pharmacy (around where they keep the hearing aid batteries).
