Why is the time not correct on my computer?

Question

Why is the time not correct on my computer?

Answer 1

One of two things, either you have it set to the wrong time zone or your system doesn't have enough RAM.  My wife's laptop did that a lot until I upgraded the memory.

Answer 2

You did not set it right.

Answer 3

you must live in madagascar. yeah the strong magnetic field generated by the moose bat there actually causes problems on many electronics

Answer 4

Make sure your in the right time zone. You can also synchronize to internet time or change the time yourself by double clicking the clock in the bottom right-hand corner.

Answer 5

Ckomputer time is never correct.

Answer 6

To fix that ...try "RIGHT CLICK" on icon clock right hand bottom corner.

Then "LEFT CLICK" on "ADJUST DATE/TIME

a box will appear, so you can do all your adjusting/time zone, etc.

Answer 7

First of all, is it PC or MAC? If it is PC then follow this. It is simple, the time on your computer is base on the BIOS (basic input/output system) of the computer. You can configure the time on the BIOS easily. First reboot your computer then while rebooting starts, press "F2" or/and "del" on your keyboard. If done correctly you can enter the BIOS setup and you should see the time and date configuration. Change the time and press "F10" on the keyboard to save and exit. Then restart, hope this will help.

Answer 8

Because the round button lithium battery type CR2032 located on the motherboard is at the end of its life---please replace it.

Answer 9

Inside your motherboard, there is a small battery  just like the ones for calculators and remote controls.  When your computer is turned off and that small battery maintains the bios, and some other functions in your computer, one of those functions includes the system time and it is that system time that is used by your OS to know what the time is.

Unfortunately, that battery is not rechargeable sice it is only a small button cell and since it is not rechargeable it  tends to run out.  This would cause your system time to s***w up and in turn s***w up the time.  Just go get a new  battery.

Answer 10

I don't know.  Just fix the time and it will be correct!

Answer 11

you don't give much info to go on but have you tried setting it?  google set my computers time and go from there.  If you mean the time is wrong and you set it but after you turn it off it is wrong again then you need a new cmos battery.  A small battery that lives on your motherboard.

Answer 12

First possibility : The time zone might not be correct.

Second Possibility : The CMOS battery on the Motherboard may be dead.

Third Possibility : The Operating system is not an authentic one and hence is affecting the system functionality.

But please check the first and the second option first.

Answer 13

You can always fix it by double click on the time itself and set it right?

My girlfriend and I were actually talkin online about that this morning.... she didnt know you can do that.

Answer 14

you probably have it on the wrong time zone setting

try clicking on the clock thinkgy in the corner of your screen

Answer 15

Try replacing the battery, it's number is CR 2032.

Answer 16

Make sure your Region settings are correctly set.

Answer 17

I have control over it at this end in BC, Canada.

Answer 18

Maybe youre electricity went off for a second or two?? Good guess though!

Answer 19

Your computer battery is dead i think.

Answer 20

double click on the time, click on internet time and update now

Answer 21

Same thing happens with my computer or used to, my brothers computer gets it all the time. Go to the clock down in the bottom right hand corner, go to the Time Zone tab and choose yours, then obviously hit apply and there ya go! You may have to change the internet time thing to but the first idea should do well.

Answer 22

not everyone's computer time is right
