I have one tower whose clock will not stay adjusted.
I have changed the battery, changed the time in the Bios and in OS. It still reverts to UTC.
Time zone will not stay on my choice of zones either.

May be a bug in the Bios?

Not 100% but have you loaded the Via Hyperion 4-in-1 drivers for that board? (I remember something like that a while back, and they "cured" that problem... (could be wrong of course :) )

LP,

Did you try saving something else in the Bios? I could be wrong but just a thought.

Flipping Yanks ... UTC :rolleyes:

Just spent 10mins finding out what UTC was ... :blush:

UK
is on British Summer Time (GMT+1)
and NOT GMT - GMT does NOT switch!

Clocks in Europe / USA / Canada on Summer / Daylight Saving Time until 30th October 2005

Oh, and I haven't a clue why ... :blush:

Mucks, have you had your meds yet today? ;)

I changed to a different hard drive that has a different OS, adjusted time and time zone settings in Bios again, adjusted them in OS, and so far it's holding.

Both OS'es were Linux, so I'm not sure if it auto updates time.

I think it does ... I was looking at my clocks and thought the PC was wrong.

No, look again and all my clocks are wrong and the PC was right ... I gained 10mins today. :D

The problem must lie with the OS. In SuSe it keeps time fine, but in Mepis it's off again. :rolleyes:
