Hi,

I have started up my HP PC today running Windows XP. At the bootup start i have a screen saying American Megatrends. his is something which is not usually there. Also my time on the task bar was set at 00:00. This has started to go up, i have been on my PC for 40 minutes now and it reads 00:40. Also the daye says 1st January 2001.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be? I am in the process of scanning for viruses etc.

Thanks in advance.

Colin

how old is the pc as appears the cmos battery needs replacing or you used the cmos jumper to reset the cmos to factory defaults & have to reconfigure the cmos?

Hi,

The PC is about 7 years old. Nothing has been changed by me with the cmos.

Thanks

if pc is a tower not a laptop then you need to replace the cmos battery which is a cr2032 type battery. it looks & is about the size of a quarter.
