Can anyone tell me why my computer clock loses time constantly. I have to reset it every few days.

Best answer is to set up an NTP client. What operating system are you running?

The battery on your mother board needs to be replaced. EASY thing to do!

Now funny this should come up, I have the exact OPPOSITE problem. My clock gains time, and at a bad pace, too. I brought up the time setting thing (on XP), and clocked it doing 30 seconds for its time when it was really only 25 seconds. So, my clock gains about 10sec/min and I notice about 5-10mins/hr. I haven't changed my clock in 2 hours now, and it reads 2:12 as I type this, when it is only 1:50. This is rather annoying, as I have to force it to synch with the time.windows server or time.nist server every hour. I haven't found anything on the internet, excpet that when your clock is slow, you should replace the battery on the motherboard (the majority of the time, anyways). Any ideas here?

I'm having the same problem... for the past month, I've had to reset the clock on average 3 times a week because it's losing time. I've never changed a battery in the motherboard though.

Thanks everyone for their advice. Had no idea there was a battery. I might try resetting the time and shutting it down at night. See how that works out.
