Time and Date resets

Posting for a friend. He has a k6-3 with an FIC motherboard. It seems that his system frequently resets to 1/1/97 or something like that. Apparently, his bios settings remain, even when the clock reverts. Any suggestions? He only has a couple of days left to exchange the mobo if that became necessary. What do you think?

Now there's an old mobo (it reverts back to the initial date of the bios). Get the latest Bios and it should be fine. It's called Y2K and only affects very old Bios on about maybe 5% of the computers still in use.

Thanks for the response. He had told me that got some sort of meter out and measured his battery so he didn't think that was the problem. I had wondered if there might be an issue with his bios. Didn't think about the good old Y2K! That sounds like a pretty logical explanation. I've encouraged him to try updating it. Hopefully that will solve his problems.
