Your Motherboard has a small Lithium battery which allows the clock ticking even when you shutdown your computer..\n\nOnce it exhausts.. all you have to replace it and then again setup the time...it wont vanish now!\n\nRead a detailed article regarding how to replace the battery at: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/81\n\nIf replacing a battery doesnt solve your problem...you may have to upgrade your Motherboard CMOS by flashing it...\nContact DELL Service Center for this..\nBut..mostly battery replacement solves the problem in 99% cases..

There could be issue with the BIOS. Check for your computer Motherboard vendor.\n\nThere could be BIOS update.\n\nSynchronizing the time online is a temporary solution. Once you disconnect from Internet it will again go back.

you probably have faulty ram or cruddy clock settings.\ntake your pc into a professional and see what they can do to stabalize your system\n\nedit: your system is just okey dory then, isn't it? use less intense clock speeds. what is your system? amd?\ni have the same card, and the same problems. just don't use too aggressive clock settings on the ram (like CL2.5 versus CL2)\n\nreach me at evil@evildomain.org if you need further help, as i dont like checking back on answers

Why not check the simplest thing first. Go to Control Panel and select Power Management. Check the entry Standbymodus - is there a time defined? If yes, set it to none or never.

You could possibly have a Vundo infection. Have a look here:\nhttp://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=si_hijack&message.id=29584

Ooooooooh \ntack it easy...\n 1) first make sure that every thing is fixed correctly and if necessary re-assemble the PC.\n 2) reset the BIOS (remove battery or by jumpier)\n 3) finally Chick the power supply (SMPS) connections or change it.\n\nGOOD LUCK

Is this a question?  \n\nIf you are saying this is a problem, then you may want to take your computer to a tech.  Many times there is a battery on the motherboard that keeps the system time.    If it's going bad, i've seen it slow down time keeping and other things.   \n\nThe other thing I'd check is to check the services on the computer and see if the "Windows Time" service is disabled.  If it is not, your computer may be trying to sync it's time with another computer on the network.

Click on start and then settings and then control panel and there you will find Date/Time.  Just click on it and go from there.  That is how I changed mine and I had the same problem you are having.

Software culpit:\n1. This is caused by the programs are running on startup, those with a icon next to the clock, Avg is a must, but, Advanced windows care and the registry cleaner and you don't need them everyday(now they failed you anyway), and they taken up system resources like Ram, cpu workload etc, thats might be a problem, try uninstall them see if problem gone.\n2. Try uninstall some unnecessary program, use the uninstall link to do that.\n3. Try to backup your important files and reformat your harddrive and install xp from start again if no solution is viable.\nHardware culpit:\nIf your pc > 4 years old, it can barely handle xp with the lot of software and updates you installed, may be is time to buy a new one.

If all else fails do a system restore and set it back to a time your PC was working OK, you'll find it in "start" "control panel " "performance and maintenance" Right side panel "system restore"

alot of times the security settings are too high, you can call your ISP and get the techs to help you on the phone.  Your pc is still under warranty, so don't be shy about calling Dell......they are very helpful.   Good luck

You may also want to try opening the computer and cleaning (carefully) all the parts, cards, fans, etc. With a computer that old, it's probably collected a bunch of dust and dirt inside that could cause it to overheat and run slowly.\n\nMy Dell was about 3 years old, and I had never cleaned it out. It started acting funny, and after I cleaned it, it seemed to work fine.\n\nDefinitely try that if you have never cleaned out its insides before. If you have tried that, then it may be your hard drive like the previous answerer said.

A few questions:\n\n1. Have you corrected the time?  If you have, does it reset to the incorrect time when you reboot?  \n\n2. Do you have the correct time zone set?  If not, the minutes will be correct, but hours will always be wrong, because Windows automatically synchronizes the time based on the time zone YOU give it.\n\n3. Is the computer connected to a network?  Some Netware networks will override the time setting on the computer.\n\nEven if the CMOS battery is bad, Windows should automatically set the time when it contacts a time server.
