HELP ME! My Computer keeps losing time

[Deputy Swan]

Hello. so I been pissed off at squad for a month.. kept having disconnect errors. well turns out its not squads fault as me n soulz figured out last night. My computer does not keep time. like I will update the time, its good for a hour.. and then time stops and it will not update. so its 01:42 I update/sync time. about 02:30ish time will freeze on my machine and not advance.. causing problems with EAC when I game.

I have tried all kinds of things to fix it.. ordering a new mother board battery. but I dont think that will change anything when machine is running?

any body have any ideas....

Tbh, those batteries should last for a ridiculous amount of time under normal conditions. I'm putting my bet on a fried MB.

 

[Snakebabies]

^^^^knows watch batteries. Maybe your mobo manufacture decided to cut corners and install a shitty battery though.

You can test those batteries by putting your tongue on it, same as the 9v just not as strong. They should last like 7 years.

Yes and no, those batteries give off a spike at first, best illustrated with a simple $4 tester, but after a second or two, the charge can drop to nothingness - with your tongue you feel the first zap and are like "oooh, this one's fine", when in fact the battery is dead.

The more expensive silver-oxide ones, though, they don't pull that kind of shit(if they're dead, they're dead) - generally not available for the 4-digit sizes (LR1220+), though.
