My clock goes out of time

[amoretam]

Hello, ...YEs, I wonder why I have to go to to synchronize my computer time with internet time so much?
It goes out of time the other day I turn the computer on, .. even without turning it off ...
Thanks
that is all

You clock is running too slow? About 1 minute a day... or even more?
Power off system completely and detach cable form power socket. Detach network cable as well (so it cannot synchronzie time from internet). After 10 minutes attach power up again and boot (leave network cable detached). What is the date/time then, a time in the past for example 1970 or 2005? Or just a few minutes off track? You can attach network cable again afterwards

I dont know if it slow or what... It just goes out of time tremendously, it goes forward in time and backwards...

Should I still try that?

Thanks

One more question: Is the time exactly 1,2,3 hours out of sync? Or even days/years? So is it simply a timezone problem?

nop, not days, just ours 5 or 7 hours sometimes 3 or 2... dont know too random..

I think I have my timezone correctly I live in Santo Domingo Dominican Republic

A custom built desktop machine? Did you swap the CMOS battery already?

 

[Kaktussoft]

So a totally random time difference... even forward in time. Not an internet time server update problem.... that synchronize runs only once a week, so I don't expect a faulty timeserver (and you reset the time by synchroizing with a timeserver anyway to correct the issue).

No program in win7 resets the clock... unless done manually. Allmost sure it's a BIOS/CMOS issue. Replace CMOS battery

CMOS battery,? .... never

 

[Kaktussoft]

Replace cmos battery most likely solves the problem. Battery costs about 30 dollarcents, most of time it's a CR2032

Actually there are some programs that can reset the clock in Win 7 & these are some private weather station programs that can be set to change the computer clock so it in synchronous with the weather stations console clock for data updating where times are fairly critical for accurate data. In all cases I know of this is not a default setting, as you have to install it when setting up the software. I do use such a weather station but I don't use the time setting feature.

Thats good information Ranger4. Thank you.

I already replaced battery in Mobo, ... it is the same, Clock goes out of time in Windows 7 and OSX Lion... (hackingtosh)

Thanks

Defective RTC chip on mobo.

RTC?

 

[amoretam]

ok RTC chip , I read already, how to fix this??? my motherboard is working excellent... only that the clock goes out... but the bios stays and Cosm all good and intact...

Thanks

try Make Windows synchronize time more often

or How to Change the Time Synchronization Interval in Windows 7

or Internet Time Synchronization Update Interval

if all else fails, try this free 3rd party resident sync tool to sync it at a time sequence of your choice:
http://www.timesynctool.com/

i set it to resnc every 8 hrs.

NetTime - Network Time Synchronization Tool

i set it to resnc every 8 hrs.

There is no way to do this for the motherboard itself, so that when I am in OSX Lion... it works too?? remember this is a Hackingtosh??

thanks
