Headache
Ever since Sunday September 6th, 2008, my computer has had a problem with the
date and time displayed in the task bar. Whenever I turn on the computer, the
date would reset to December 31, 2000, and the time would reset to a time
that\s approximately 3 hours later than the actual time. After I readjusted
the date and time to the correct ones, and I restart again, the time would be
fine. However, if I turn on the computer the next day, the time would revert
to the December 31, 2000 date and the corresponding wrong time. When this is
the case, as I turn on my computer, the first screen would be accompanied by
a beep sound and this weird "America *something*" title on the screen briefly
(I have never managed to get a good look at the screen because on a
particular day, it only shows up the first time I turn it on).
Can anyone help me fix the problem? Or, at least point me in the right
direction? Could this be a virus problem. which I doubt it is, or does it
have something to do with the battery or something that has to do with the
hardware? BY the way, it's a desktop computer. I'm really fed up with
changing the date each day I turn on the computer, and help would be greatly
appreciated.
