insanedown58 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Now I know what you're thinking, why not just by a new CMOS Battery right? Well I did. And it worked for a month then bam! Its broken again. I know it isn't the CMOS because I tried switching my dad's cmos with mine and his Windows 7 PC still worked. The BIOS time is also wrong but correcting the time doesn't change anything at all. The date would be right but the time would be hours late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airstream_Bill Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Only had that problem when I used a College Version of Windows XP Pro that was for an Egyptian College. I have no ideas other than Setting you time to a different Country and then changing it back to wherever you are. That may be worth a try???Good Luck.

insanedown58 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 It didn't work. Could it be the motherboard? or the installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Have you set it to sync with the internet - you need to also test the Time server that's been selected (change the server if it's not connecting on the first try.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanedown58 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 The entire thing is set well. I even tried all the default Time Servers including the one in my country but they never sync automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 How do I edit the Interval time and what should it be? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient]SpecialPollIntervalThe default is 7 days (604800 seconds - you can modify this to the equivalent seconds for less number of days.)

dcs18 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Try for a BIOS update - if unavailable, flash the present one again (your BIOS could've gone corrupt.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanedown58 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 .. could it be the drivers? I'm very uncomfortable with re-flashing my BIOS since it isn't my "thing" you know. I also don't want to be held responsible if all hell breaks loose in my BIOS since I technically didn't build my PC. I chose the parts and paid a guy to put it all together.
