Time and date resets when i restart the pc?

[Cov xClusive]

Whenever i turn my windows7 pc on, it tells me to set the time and date settings. After a google search it's mostly likely my CMOS battery is dead, so i bought one off ebay and installed it but i'm still having the same time and date errors...

Can anybody help?

Did you go into Bios setup during Boot-up, and set the date & time for your time zone, there first. Then when in Windows set it to the same date & time as the Bios setting.

Well when the pc turns on it takes me to a black and white screen and i changed the settings through that, i didnt pick a time zone tho?

You don't get to pick a time zone in the Bios settings, I just said to set the time & date for the zone you are presently in.

Is this a desktop or laptop computer ? Did you get the new battery installed properly ?

Well i set it right, i installed it myself by looking at youtube videos. Look simple, it's a desktop pc.

Are you getting this message during Boot-up, before Windows starts ?

Yes

 

[DocBrown]

Ok, next how about some hardware spec on your computer ?

The only thing I see in you specs is your Bios is from 2007. But I have several computers with Bios older than that. They have not been update & still hold the date & time ok.

Oh, thanks for helping

One other thing you may try, Resetting Bios to factory default.

Take the new battery out, unplug AC power cable from the source (wall outlet). Leave battery out & power dis-connected for at least 30 minutes. Then put battery back in & connect AC power cable, Boot-up, & immediately hit DEL key to go into Bios set-up to set time & date. Save settings & re-Boot.
