PC clock slow

[danmand]

Why does a PC clock lose time?

 

[Papi Chulo]

Mine updates automatically, synchronizing with a government site

I have heard it's a sign the cmos/compter battery is getting weak...but thats unconfirmed.

You can try what MarkII said and replace the battery or you can go into windows and set it to synchronize with a website as what Papi Chulo said.

Your PC is probably time sync with the VIA Rail time server.

(If your running Window 2000 or lower most PCs will lose time until they sync with a Internet time server.)

Confirmed. The battery is low.
