darudey Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Every now and then, when I boot up to Mandriva, the time gets reset to 1st January 2007. When this happens Mandriva doesn't boot, stops and tells me a time is in the future (can't remember exactly what the message is ) and I need to run fsck to fix it. I did run fsck the first time I saw this message, but now, I restart the PC and set the correct time in the BIOS. What on earth could be causing this crazy error to happen???

jkerr82508 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Perhaps the BIOS battery is needing to be replaced. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darudey Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I hope you're right Jim. Happened again this morning. I did change the battery a few months ago... hmm... I'm going to try a new battery anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 It could be that you need to clear the CMOS for the motherboard. There should be a switch on the board to do this. Do you know where this switch is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darudey Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I was still having problem booting up after a battery change. I cleared the CMOS and haven't had a problem since. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
