I have a 4ry old computer. Intel processor/motherboard. Everything was going well till a few days ago. The system date is incorrect in Windows. I cannot fix it as any change in date results in a corresponding change in day. See picture. In the picture the date is Nov 3rd (Saturday) 2007. As we all know Nov 3rd is on a Monday. If I change it from Sat to Mon, the date then becomes the 5th. They are synced, and I'm stuck either 2 days ahead or 2 days behind. What I've just described is exactly the same in the BIOS. I can't set day and date independently. Grrrr! Do I need a new CMOS battery, is my motherboard f'd up? I tried a Flash BIOS update, but this did nothing. Help. Anyone. Thanks.

November 3rd is a Saturday. December 3rd is a Monday.

You just pop the old one out, and put the new one in. It's a shiny silver coin-looking thing, bigger than a nickel but smaller than a quarter, laying flat on the motherboard.

Thanx guys, pretty much decided it's the battery. Going to replace. Hope I don't fry the motherboard!

Remember to discharge static electricity by touching the metal chasis of the computer before touching any of the internal parts of the computer.
