 |
|
Computery-type question now, of late my PC seems to "lose" 1hr on it's internal clock on a fairly regular basis when I switch on. If I update it, the time shows correctly for the rest of the session.
I could understand perhaps a battery backup throwing a wobbler, and the time resetting to say 00:00 or 12:00, but why it loses exactly 1hr is beyond me???????? Surely it doesn't keep thinking that it's time for putting the clock back?

Did you correct it in the BIOS ?

When you start your PC it should say "press ( sometimes F2 or Esc or Delete ) to enter BIOS". If not check your manual. Correct the time in your BIOS but DO NOT touch anything else. Sometimes the manufacturer puts a splash screen over the instructions so RTFM.

Are you updating the time from "internet time" and in a different time zone? Just a thought...

Rick,
Go into Control Panel and check the date (you can check the time zone too). It may have switched from summer time if the date is wrong.

what OS are you using? some versions of linux and later MS windows use 2 clocks; a bios clock which will always creep a tad and an OS clock which may use the bios clock but can be pointed to any time server on't interweb for correction.
If it jumped forward an hour it would look like CET time, back an hour is Auckland time! not very common
