If your computer is always losing time, the CMOS battery is going bad. The CMOS battery is in the motherboard, a flat silver looking disc. It has 2 little clamps that hold it in place. If you're in the US, these batteries can be purchased at Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, and all computer stores, but you need to take the battery with you when you go to buy one so you get the right one.
To get to the CMOS battery, you have to turn off the computer, unplug it from the electrical source, take the cover off and look at the motherboard, a flat piece with all the wiring and circuits on it. Be careful not to touch anything else but the battery. If you are unsure about doing this, it would be better to have a technician do this for you. Until you replace this battery, the computer will continue to lose time until it just stops running.

First you need to fix the problem that making you PC getting late. It is an easy fix. Go to the store and pick up a 2032 watch battery. Then Open your computer find the Battery. Replace it with the new one and close your computer. Then update your time and you should be fine from now on until the new battery runs out of power.

you need to replace the CMOS battery. It looks like a watch batter on the motherboard. It keeps the time and date adjusted while the computer is off.

On startup, you will notice that somewhere on the screen it will say: Press F2 or whatev, to reach Setup. That will bring you to the CMOS setup, in which you can accurately adjust date and time. If after that, it doesn't work, your CMOS battery is dead. This battery helps you to keep computersettings from deleting, as it powers up the CMOS when the computer is off.

When your computer is off, it uses a battery within it to keep the clock running. As the battery ages, it may not keep as strong a charge, and can cause the clock to slow down when the computer is off. Depending on the make and model, that battery may be replacable (check the manufacturers website for instructions).

Sounds like a dead CMOS battery. Go to Wal-Mart and pick up a CR-2032 battery and replace it.
