IWill KA266plus mobo and the cmos clock is malfunctioning. Every time I
shut the PC off the clock freezes at whatever time it is when I shut the box
down. Once Windows boots up, it starts keeping time correctly again, and it
will update with the ineternet time server, but whenever the box is off, the
time/date is simply frozen in place until the next time I switch it on.
Battery is still good (3.2 volts) and even tried another battery. Also
tried resetting the cmos jumper and pulling the battery for a couple of
minutes. No change.
I bought the board used and the BIOS is about three years old. Is this
the kind of thing a flash might fix or is the clock a separate hardware
problem that I'm stuck with?
Thanks
