TSGL: what makes a computer clock lose time?

[Russell W. Coover]

One of the major reasons a computer loses time is that the CMOS battery is
weak. See the following web page for information ...

By the way, I am surprised you haven't installed something like the freeware
"Dimension 4" which will synchronize your computer clock with an Atomic
Clock time server as often as you wish. I actually have mine synchronizing
every 5 minutes, though I know that is not necessary. Go to ...

Subject: TSGL: what makes a computer clock lose time?

I have a brand spankin' new computer that my husband and I built in 
January.  The clock keeps losing time.  It's lost seven minutes since 
Thursday.  What could be causing this?  How can I fix it?

I have an ASUS P5K-E/WIFI motherboard and a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 
Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2x4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor.

I'm running WinXP Pro.

Thanks,

Luminosity
