Contest trouble of the week :
Date and time of the computer resets to a certain date on its own. What could be the reason of this, how to fix this issue?
So if you know the fix, leave it through a comment below. Waiting for your comments ( fixes )!

In most of the cases the main reason behind the date time reset problem occurs due to weak CMOS battery on the motherboard. So, you just need to change your CMOS battery on your motherboard to resolve this problem.

Logon BIOS and fix the date.
I think it will be ok.
Here are the steps…….
1. Double click the time on your taskbar (bottom right side) to open the “Date and Time Properties.”
2. There are 3 tabs : ‘Date & Time’, ‘Time Zone’ and ‘Internet Time.’
Under “Date & Time” tab, set the date and time as you want.
3. Click the third tab “Internet Time.”
Uncheck the mark in front of “Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server.”
Your problem may be solved….
4. (Optional)
If possible, go to second tab “Time Zone”, and scroll up and set your Time zone to “(GMT -08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana” which might be the fifth option.
Now the problem will be solved.
First Try to change date in Bios.
If this fails then change the CMOS Battery.
This will definately Fix the Date & Time Problem.
COMS Battery comes for 15 to 20 Rs.
Good Luck
Dinesh
ya only the changing battery of CMOS can
fix this problem permanently.
Dinesh is absolutely right.
b’cause every time u start your system
the date and time are incorrect.
this is b’cause of weak battery of CMOS
so, change the battery and
fix the problem
Go for it!!!!!!!
it will work for sure…
As Iam amateur in problems related to computer for this problem i think this the problem of BIOS Battery, replace it and this problem will be solved.
I know the above solution has already been posted by my friends. But this is to emphasis the possible solution of this problem.
There may be following possibilities for this problem:
1)The CMOS battery may be down:
RESOLVE:change the battery in the cpu cabinet.
2)RAM must be inserted improperly or in wrong slot.
RESOLVE:Try changing the RAM to another slot properly.
change the BIOS/CMOS battery, problem will be solved.
Best of Luck
