Probably. That's the most likely explanation, anyway. If you've made any changes to your BIOS settings, you might want to make a note of them before replacing the battery. They will probably reset to the default settings. Most motherboards will shut down the clock when when the PC is off if the battery voltage starts to drop. This means your clock isn't keeping time. You could also be losing a little time even when it's on. The next most common cause would be a faulty clock. This is rare and would probably have been noticeable when the PC was new. If that turns out to be the case you'll have to replace the motherboard. > > Anyway, I'm off to the salt mine. > Theres no salt, but that's what makes the work so hard.
