It must be the battery!!! nothing else. You need to send back you PC and ask for the money back.

Replace the BIOS battery on the motherboard ... easy enough to do and only a few pence.

Thx for the quick replies. You are nto the first to say that, but I have also had conflicting stories saying that if it was the battery, it would not remember any settings at all !!

Nope, the "settings" will stay intact until you remover/replace the battery ... so If your not adverse to having a look in the BIOS I would do so, and write down all the settings ... sorry, I know of no 'program' that will do it for you.

It is a little unusual for a 'new' system to have this problem, but not unheard off. It could well turn out to be a faulty clock controller, and if so, you would be better getting a replacement board. Best way to see, is to replace the battery.
