Windows 7 - time and date always reverts to December 31, 2001

Whenever I start my computer (after a power down) the date and returns the wrong time and date.  The date is December 31, 2001 and the time is 11:? H. Ce that is the cause? It only started a few days ago.  What can I do to fix this?

I'm guessing that you have a desktop computer that is old enough?

I think that the problem is caused by a small button battery in your computer that needs to be replaced.

  1. If you you disconnect the power supply to your computer

  2. Hold the button for 7 seconds

  3. Lay the computer on its side with the side where the wires are down

  4. Remove the side panel

  5. By peer in there and you'll see a shiny silver battery about 1/2 "in diameter.  It's the battery

  6. Go into any store and buy a 2032 button battery.  They cost less than $5

  7. Find a very small screwdriver flat blade (like that used for glasses)

  8. Very gently, loose battery.  It will pop up, so be ready to grab.

  9. Press the new battery with the markings embossed on the top-side facing you.

  10. Close the side panel

  11. Replace vertical

  12. Start the computer

    He now has to have the date and time together, but once more - at least for this 5 years.  You have to press F2 at startup to get to the place where the date and time are stored.  Equip date and current time. It does not use the mouse only keyboard.  This includes the way it tells you to save what you were doing.  You can hear the ROAR more and blowing so that some things is again set up.

    Once Windows is all set up:

  1. Click once on the date/time in the lower right

  2. Click change date and time

  3. Click time Internet

  4. Click on change settings

  5. Select time.b.nist.gov and click on the Update button - it synchronizes the clock of the computer with the US govt time system labs

  6. Close

    You are all fixed.

  • My PC clock and date always change when I turn on the PC. How can I get the time to stay the same / correct?

    Hello. Not sure if I have come to the right place with my question.

    Hi Anti-A,
     
    -Remember to make changes to your computer before this problem started to happen?
    -You are using a laptop or a desktop computer?
     
    Determine if the loss of time is the result of a weak computer battery. Follow these steps to do the same thing:

    a. click Start, point to programsand then click MS-DOS prompt.

    b. at the command prompt, type time and then press ENTER.

    c. compare this time with the time shown by the clock in the taskbar.

    d. Type exit and press ENTER.

    If the computer's time and the time on the clock are different, the computer's battery may be too low for accurate time, and it must be replaced. For more information on how to replace the battery, refer to the documentation that came with your computer.

  • Time and date of the Iphone 6s set contacts automatically / backup

    Hi my name is Rebecca. Please be patient, this is a long story with a question to which Apple for a month and a half has not been able to solve. The end of February, I went to Sprint to upgrade my iphone 6 to a 6 s. (my 6 had no problem). The backup and restore to the other went off without a hitch. Two weeks having the phone, date and the value automatically switched to a GMT setting which is 4 hours ahead of New York. Assumption is that the phone has been deserted. I got a new phone and everything has been backed up and restored again. Less than two weeks later, the same goes for the 2nd iphone 6 s.  I went to Sprint and got a 3rd iphone 6 s. backup and restored all again. Less than a week later for the 4th time, the new iphone 6 s time and date switched to the time zone GMT 4 hours ahead of New York. At this point, I called Apple Tech support. A very nice tech Jason worked with me for 2 weeks to fix this. He sent Apple a 4th iphone 6s. We did a backup and when the new phone came in did us a restore. A few days later, the same problem. Apple accuses Sprint, Sprint complaint to Apple. At this point, Sprint said that my sim card was corrupted and he sent me a new. On the phone with Jason, we did a reset of the iphone 6s failing manufacturers. Removed the corrupted sim card and put in a new vacuum. Phone restarts and when you get to the Setup screen, it asks "set up as a new user or a user to return. Jason said as a new user.  I clicked on new user. Following her request for an apple ID. Jason said I should put in my existing apple id (although it has been activated on as a new user). At this point the phone wouldn't turn on. On the phone with Sprint. They did not understand as to why the phone would not activate. Jason suggested that I put my original sim card in (which was noted as corrupted), then the active phone. At this stage because I had not done a restore, the only information on my phone now an old backup who had my contacts and some of the notes, images etc. Jason said to do a restore after just 24 hours to be sure of the time and the date stay correct. Not happened. Less than 24 hours, the date and time that is set to automatic changed to the GMT time zone. Jason was out of suggestions. We left him there. I am very angry to pay more than $800 for an iphone that feature very very important does not work. On mine, I restored my phone and thought what I'd do. I then did a backup. I'll stop my icloud. I have reset my builders phone by default and when I went through the whole upward I plugged my phone in itunes and restored my phone from my computer backup. (Icloud is always OFF). Less than 24 hours later at the date and time in GMT area again. Once again, that I have a phone very very expensive with a feature that is vital for me, I can't use. Yes, I could turn the machine off, but I shouldn't do that. So here's my question: Iphone 6, I have not had any problems with my icloud or my sim card or the date and time. 6 s IPhone that I do. I got iphone 4 brand new 6s with the same problem. Is - that my sim card is corrupt and transfer information corrupt, though only it worked fine in my iphone 6? Second question: I don't want to sign up for a new apple id and start from scratch. This will screw up my gmail which is linked to the apple ID. How can I back up my contacts only on my computer and then be able to reset my phone manufacturers by default, then erase all information from my existing apple ID in order to use again, but only restore contacts which is the worst part of transfer phones. Apps and notes, photos and all the rest is not a problem to start from scratch, but contact is almost impossible to have to type each hand one by one. Please someone out there with a solution. Thank you in advance.

  • Time and Date on Portege 3490CT...

    Hello.

    Is it possible to set the time and date settings in the BIOS somehow?
    I'm tired of setting the time and date on my windows every time that I reboot or turn on my computer.

    I hope someone can help!

    Sincerely,

    Daniel A. Johansen aka SiLverFerret

    Hi Daniel,.

    If you have set the date and time every time that you start Windows, so I think that your CMOS battery has expired. It is a small battery used only to keep the parameters of the BIOS (including date and time).

    Normally, the CMOS battery recharges when the laptop is connected to the power supply.

    I would recommend that you contact a Service partner to get your replaced CMOS battery (it is normally attached to the motherboard).

  • My asus computer continues to change time and date

    My ASUS U50F/Windows 7, 64 bit version continues to change time and date. Sometimes he changes a day, sometimes is two or more days to come, but after a few months, it resets the date back to 2009. It seems that a lot of people have the same problem as me. Some suggest it is the BIOS battery, but that's not the problem. I got my computer some time in 2010, and well enough it has been the same since.

    Sometimes, the problem is more common, and sometimes it goes on for a few months without at all what's happening.

    Any input will be greatly appreciated, but please don't say I need to change the BIOS battery, cause it is not the problem.

    Thank you

  • How can I get the time and date appears on a sony cyber-shot camera

    How can I get the time and date appears on a sony cyber-shot camera

    Hi terpmarty,

    What is the model number of the Sony Cybershot camera?
    Instructions for superimposing the date and time are model specific. Some models do not have the ability to superimpose the date and time too. In such a case, you can use the supplied software Picture Motion Browser (PMB) or PlayMemories home (WPH) (Compatible with the Windows operating system) to print the date and time on pictures.

  • Time and Date setting

    In general - the time and date settings can I put two areas. I want to see two areas on my status bar. Don't want an app for that.

    I'm afraid, which is not supported by the firmware. If you want that for any update to update future iOS, let Apple know your wish using this link:

  • Z440 - M60 BIOS - time and Date settings

    We can configure the Date and time in the BIOS on a Z440 with worm M60?
    If Yes, where is the option?  Sorry if this is a stupid question.

    I guess I don't think it is preconfigured, but I don't know even how to check the current configuration.

    EskoBomb, BIOS Z840/Z640/Z440 has many changes from previous HP workstations.  The user interface of BIOS F10 is different.  I deleted my previous answer, since it applied to the previous HP workstations.  (Sorry, I misread your original message).

    BIOS Z840/Z640/Z440 has NO settings to change the time and Date.  This generation of workstations doesn't have this option.  The time and date can be set after bootinging, and then edit them in the operating system.

    These BIOS settings are no longer needed.
