XPS 13 wrong time and fails to restart

Two years ago I bought this XPS and I was doing pretty well, until lately.

1. the BIOS time is false.

2. in addition, when restarting the system (linux 14.04) (or I turn it on again immediately after a stop), the LED will light for 2 seconds, then the pc stops.
When you do that, it takes several (up to 10, 15) try to work again.

The two issues could be related?

I need to change the CMOS battery?

Any suggestions on the type of battery, things to do and not do?

Thank you very much.

Hello Nice of you to hear.

We want to say,

at Dell, we don't sell the CMOS battery in a separate part, it always goes with the motherboard. Of course the CMOS battery can be removed from the motherboard.

What is meant by locally is to check in a store of the local computer to the CMOS battery.

If you buy from Dell, you must purchase the motherboard that we do not sell CMOS separately. hope you got my point.

Update of the BIOS is to the question of the time clock wrong, because the settings are stored in the BIOS (as we mentioned it may or may not work).

We are suspecting motherboard to be the issue in the light of these two questions, but you can first try replacing the cmos battery only, if still the same then consider replacing the motherboard.

  • wrong time and date in the hp Pavilion a305w pc after adding memory

    I took the tour of the hp Pavilion a305W (Windows XP) PC to a place where they have added memory because it was very slow.

    After that, it would not start by itself, and the Date and time are not good.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Very probably during the process of adding more memory you may disrupt the battery CMOS (or RTC) or even the chip for the BIOS itself. Please (no need to do this):

    • Reinstall the components autour RAM slots
    • Change new battery for RTC
    • Check the BIOS and reset the date hour away
    • Check the date and time of Windows.

    Kind regards.

    Now, I signed so many times today I can do it blindfolded.

    I tried signing out and back in to the application of CC Office repeatedly, and I tried to rename the opm.db file in the user OOBE folder. That makes that worse, sporadic to constant.

    What can we do? I'm ready for anything.

    History:

    It is a fresh install of Win7 pro on an i5 system - three years, but two days ago, I changed the system to an SSD drive and reinstalled everything from scratch. I did complete the operating system update so, until I started to install the CC apps. I installed Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat.

    Here is a possible shot: I used packages of stand-alone Installer available at tools ProDesign - the reason being that I have very slow home internet, and three to four hours for a single application to download is simply not an option. Updates to the OS are as much as this topic can manage, if I take a little at a time. So, I downloaded the installers at work and taken home. Even for the update installation programs (and that's when the real trouble began).

    So, what can I do, what are my options here?

  • 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.

  • Maching time keeps failing - bought new hard drive and still the same problem

    I'm on a mac 27 inches, El Captain 10.11.2 upgrade

    Not had a problem for years and then suddenly about a month or two before, he started to do all the time. Got a mybook 2 TB for mac for Christmas - same problem. Works perfectly for hours/days at a time, and then fails again. Don't know what to do!

    I know it sounds weird, but I would like to start by making sure that your Mac hard drive is correct. Demarrer start on the recovery environment, run disk utility and perform first aid on your hard drive. You can also perform a boot secured, which does essentially the same thing.

    I also saw problems with USB devices that appear only on a specific USB port. Try changing ports.

    The external drive is new does not mean that it is not defective. Perform first aid on the external hard drive and reformat. Better still, try another drive altogether to eliminate the drive as the source of the problem.

  • iCloud library not updated iPhone photos of Mac.  This happens frequently and I don't see a way to force him (he always says that he updated all 'on time').  I tried restarting both devices.

    iCloud library not updated iPhone photos of Mac.  This happens frequently and I don't see a way to force him (he always says that he updated all 'on time').  I tried restarting both devices.  Mac is running latest update of el capitan, and iPhone is 9.1 (on hold until that the photos are actually saved to update to 9.2)

    Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing.

    incoming mail has the wrong date and time when they arrive in my Inbox.

    The timestamp on an e-mail comes from two places, time on the mail server settings and the settings of the time on your PC.  This time setting includes the current time, the time zone and setting time summer time.  If one of them is off, the timestamp will be wrong.  You can check on your PC, but not those on the mail server.

  • Records of Vista Media Center starts and stops at the wrong time

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1 and that you may have noticed that when I schedule recordings for some a particular channel, Media Center starts 2 minutes beforehand and ends 2 minutes in advance.  This affects only shows record from my local affiliate Fox - all other shows for other strings start and stop at the appropriate time.

    I checked the system clock with the start times of the shows and both are correct.  In fact, I saw one day Media Center started to record for a show that did not begin until 08:00 at 19:58 (according to the system time).  I had my TV on at the same time and was able to verify that the program in question had not yet begun, so the flow of the internet was sychned with the dissemination of local transmission.

    It's very frustrating because I miss the end of some shows and cannot always extend registration ends because I'm ordering another channel, the next hour.

    I have the same problem with the FOX network...

    -1 make sure your clock automaticly sets in the internet and update once by pressing the link (which makes that he can see the time server)...

    There are two ways you can go with this:

    -If your departure time is correct, then just go to the Planner and choose the program (or series) you are trying to install, select the recording settings (or adjustment of series) or advanced setting... There is an option to "stop recording" 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 5 min, until 2 hours after the recording is finished... I have mine set to 5 minutes after, and she fixed it...

    -If the starting time is disabled (as mine is), to enter ERM and manuver to tasks > settings > TV > recorder > recorder defaults

    This is where you define all the flaws of the recorder, find "Start when possible" and "Stop when possible", 4 min value (max allows MCE)... Save and exit, restart the machine too...

    You should be good to go...

    PS, I just read the last sentence in your post, you must only have a tv tuner card in your machine (I have two, and that's the reason why I bought two), so you can always have a problem when recording two different channels (back to back on the same channel should work okay).
