There are several reasons why thetime on the computer. However, the elimination of such a malfunction in most cases is entirely within the power of the average user, of course, if you know what to look for.
Perhaps, many will be surprised to learn that the systemboard is placed battery. Its purpose is to save the user's BIOS settings and support the progress of the built-in electronic clock in the chip in the absence of external power. In fact, this is obvious: the clock can either start, or use some external source of energy. Thus, if time is constantly being lost on the computer, it's time to change the battery to a new one.
Replacement
Find it on the motherboard will not be difficult:A brilliant disc the size of a five-kopeck coin will be noticed by everyone. All work must be carried out when the power cord of the computer is pulled out of the socket. Gently pulling the upper contact with a small screwdriver, you need to remove the battery CR 2032. After that, it is useful to clean the eraser contacts in the connector, and "walk" on the new battery will not be superfluous.
Nuances
Although the vast majority of motherboards are usedstandard battery, some manufacturers went the other way. So, as a power source can act a sufficiently capacious capacitor. In addition, sometimes the battery is enclosed in a single unit, so you can not find it without a thorough inspection of the elements. However, there are 1 such cards.
In rare cases, even after replacing the batterythe user notices that time is wasted on the computer. In this case, it can be recommended to clean the contacts and the battery more thoroughly (at 3 V, even a thin film of fat on the metal can cause a significant voltage drop). Also it is worth making sure that the contacts are not soldered, and their clamping is not reduced.
Time is wasted on the computer: Windows 7
As we indicated at the beginning of the article, the reasons for the failurecan be different. For example, many users forget that if time is lost on the computer, it is entirely possible that the operating system and related programs are to blame. For example, if you set the time and date in Windows, they will be saved in the BIOS. From this it follows that if the time zone is set inaccurately and the background synchronization is on, then after each system boot the time on the computer will be set automatically according to the data coming from the server. At the same time, any attempts to correct the time through the BIOS of the motherboard will be rejected as insufficiently effective, since after the first boot of the system the clock will again fail. We recommend that you disable synchronization altogether. This can be done via Start: Control Panel - Date and time setting - Time on the Internet.
