It has not lost time it has gone backwards!!!!!!!!!
Now that is what is my concern
I just posted a huge reply, and then I read your post again. So it's not that it's not keeping up with real time, it's displaying one time, and then it's displaying an earlier time Trés spooky.
There's a thing which can occur whereby a timer chip uses up all of its little storage bits, and rolls over to the next second, which the software interprets as a negative value, and although the timer is still 'ticking', it's going backwards.
* Is it really going backwards, as you describe, or does it suddenly jump to a previous time?
* If you set the time, and it's displayed correctly, and you turn the computer off, when you boot up again, does it dispay the right time +/- a minute or two, or does it display a time / day from an earlier date?
* How old is the computer (hardware)?
*What make is it?
It's an interesting problem, Steve. As you can probably tell, I have very few ideas for you

You do not see it physicaly go backwards
Gerald
It does lose time whilst it is off but if you open it up in cmos then the clock works
Mike
That is the one i mentioned earlier, already tried it.

I hope not, Laptop is not that old but out of warranty.
Time for more of my concerns, there are so many abnormalities/problems/querks
I initially thought it started happening when I put Norton systemwoks on. As norton uses your clock in relation to its Liveupdate. As the clock lost time I was unable to update.
When I hibernate/close down the settings in BT broadband Change
The tick box let windows control connection becomes unticked as well as some other things.
Other things happen that are strange.
As a last resort I could reinstall Will it get rid of what it is? Or as Pusser says is it the motherboard?
T.I.A.
