This is the classic first symptom that the battery which runs the clock and preserves the CMOS settings is beginning to run out. First step -- save your CMOS settings so you can restore them later. Second step -- replace the battery, or if you have one of the integrated units (often labelled "Dallas") the whole battery/clock/cmos module. Step three -- re-enter the settings you saved in step 1.... David G ----- PCBUILD mailing list - http://nospin.com Bob Wright:[log in to unmask] - Drew Dunn:[log in to unmask]
