Default Clock keeps hanging up?

In ,
Don B typed:

About every other time I shut my computer down the clock
stops. When I power back up, the time is the same or
slightly off when I shut down. It appears as if an
internal battery holds charge and keeps time for a bit,
then dies and the clock stops tickign.

Is this a virus or XP issue?



Neither. What you state in the sentence before is correct. The
internal battery on the motherboard needs replacing.

Check your manual for instructions. These are very cheap,
normally only a couple of dollars.

Do this soon, before other important BIOS information is lost.
When you take out the old battery, you usually have a few minutes
to replace it before you lose all the BIOS settings, but it's
prudent not to rely on this; copy down all the settings with
pencil and paper before you remove the battery.
