turned on computer and time/date was may 1980...bought this in 2002 .dell4400 running xp..reset clock to correct time,but wondering what made it do that??
Don't know but do you have "Internet Time" > "Auto...synchronize......" ticked.?
Check by double click on Time/Clock (System Tray) & select "Internet Time" tab.
"A less obvious tip: The most common part to fail is the battery on the motherboard, which usually lasts anywhere from two to five years. If your clock slows down or the year reverts to 1956 or 1980 on your computer, suspect the battery first."
