Windows Time is Lagging

Mackass · 13 Apr 2007 at 22:58

The time at the very bottom right of my screen isn't keeping up with the real correct time. I synchronise it with the windows server, then later on in the day it reads half an hour behind.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happenning?

Alrite, would the bios battery be the most likely cause, or are there any other possible causes?

If so, how would I backup my bios settings? And is it necessary to backup the bios first?

Yeah built myself.

I haven't tweaked the bios though, all the settings and timings are standard, so I guess there isn't much to lose? :confused:

If so, should I be okay if without backing up, as I know the boot device order and basic settings.

Which brings me to ask, would ocuk's main competitor stock the cmos batteries?

Cheers guys, when the time comes I'll take the battery with me to the store.

This was happening to me for about a week, I would set the time and in a couple of hours it would be 30 mins behind and then stay that far behind. Most strange, it even cured itself?!
Maybe you could wait it out, but I was suspecting bios battery, but I never got around to replacing it before it fixed itself.

Funnily enough, mine seems to have cured itself too! :confused:

I know for a fact it was lagging yesterday as I had to reset it twice. Today there seems to be no problems whatsoever?!
