Fault CMOS Battery - Time keeps resetting

[Powellellogram]

Recently I changed my CMOS battery after the previous one died, resetting my time every time I started up. It was fine for a few weeks, but now this one has died again. What could be causing my CMOS battery to give up every time? It must be a fault with the Motherboard itself, but I'm not sure what.

Hi,

This abnormal.

Get a battery tester, it should be above 3 v.

I some cases, especially with branded computers, some battery socket are defective.


What I did in that case is to download, i net time setup, it works great

Downloaded NetTime and it works a treat. Guess this will have to be the solution for now, though I'm not happy about the fact that my Motherboard keeps somehow killing these batterries

I had a defective Asrock board that did this.
