Windows Vista Windows Time Won't Stay In Sync

I purchased a new Toshiba Satellite A305 with Windows Vista a few months ago. Since day one, I have had time sync issues. I can manually go into the settings and re-sync the time, and this works. The time remains accurate while I am on the computer. However, when I turn off the computer and reboot it the next time I use it, it remains on that date and time. Then, I have to re-sync the time. It's an ongoing process.

Has anyone else experienced a similar occurrence? Any suggestions on a permanent fix?

Since it's been happening from day one, I didn't think it could be a battery issue, but I guess it could have been bogus from the beginning?

Thanks for any help in advance.

 

Does the time remain synced in the BIOS (I believe it's F2 to enter the BIOS on a Toshiba)?

If so, then it's a Windows problem (I've read about ACPI issues with this system on the web).
If not, then there's a hardware issue with the system that will require a trip to the repair shop.

 

If its new you should just return it and get a new one, if it was a preowned comp though then a mobo battery might have died/ gotten loose requiring you to unscrew the back. BUT since its under warranty just return it for a new one.

 

Julie, you need to reply and let us know what happened when making the settings suggested.

Have you set the Time Zone?
