System clock slows down issue

Asked By theronrhodes 200 points N/A Posted on - 06/22/2011

Hi all,

When I look at the clock in the taskbar, I notice it is about 3 hours slow. This usually happens when I turn my PC everyday. I tried synchronizing it with the Internet clock, but it still the same.  It still shows the slow time. I have scanned my PC, but nothing is wrong.

Is this normal? Help me to set correct time.

Thanks.

System clock slows down issue

• First of all you need to see if your PC is slowed by exactly three hours at every boot or is simply displaying a specific date and time at every boot up.
• If you see a specific date and time every time you boot up: This might happen if you switch off the power supply of your PC after shutting it down. The cause of this is the battery of your motherboard which powers your motherboard even when your PC does not have any active power source. The battery in your motherboard helps store and backup all the vital information of the BIOS like the current date and time. If that is the case you need to replace the battery of your motherboard.
• If you see that the PC is slow by exactly three hours: This might happen due to a virus or Malware infection. Make sure that the antivirus installed in your PC has all the latest updates.
