If you do then I would change the CMOS battery on the motherboard, it is a large button battery usually a 2032 button battery or equivalent.

There are two reasons why that's so: 1. "Exactly one hour" would not occur of it were the battery. The change would vary and it never be exactly anything. 2. The battery is used only when the computer is powered off. A battery problem would manifest itself only when the computer was powered on. It wouldn't occur while the computer was running. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
