Problem  Last response: in Motherboards  I've come here to find
answers to many problems over the years and this one has me
stumped and I can't seem to find a solution even after days of
searching (never failed to this point.)  I have a P4 2.0Ghz
computer that is mostly a bunch of parts I had lying around but
centers on a Compaq board that was "rescued" from a box of
parts. I'm pretty sure the processor came with the board but
everything else is non stock (meaning isn't original equipment).
The problem I'm having is that the CMOS doesn't seem to want to
keep track of the time. By example I noticed the time was wrong
after freshly installing Windows XP Pro onto the machine even
after adjusting the time in the BIOS before starting the
install. The time was 3:10pm. I manually adjusted the time
continued with the installation of drivers and programs and such
until I had to restart. Upon restarting the time went back to
3:10pm despite it being after 4 now.
