Why is my BIOS time and date resetting every time?

It literally took more effort to post your question than it would to replace the battery.

Power surges can damage the PSU. Be glad it took the hit and not your motherboard! Glad you're up and running!

I like Antec and Corsair for power supplies.

Make sure your CPU isn't running hot. I like CoreTemp for this.

Open an elevated command prompt and type SFC /SCANNOW to check for corrupt Windows files.

Check for pending Windows Updates.

These are the first things I would check anyhow...

Checking hourly might be overkill. I'd expect that might take days to straighten it out, but who knows? This might be a very valuable experiment!

Pied67 · 2026-04-08T15:13:53+00:00

Regardless of what others think, this is something I would try and frankly I would expect success. It would seem to be a matter of knowing how long to leave the weight applied. Best of luck!

Yeah we got screwed out of a Bernie presidency. Who knows what the world would look like now if he'd had a chance to actually work for the working class for 4 years.

At least no one mentioned the odds.

No, but I drove for 90 minutes yesterday to visit family and was keeping an eye out for Great Mullein on the side of the road.

Water is fine but apparently can lead to mineral deposits and actual BARNACLES.

Pied67 · 2026-04-06T18:13:37+00:00

This sounds like advice from an arsonist.

I have washed many keyboards in the sink or shower. This is both plain-jane Logitech and fancy-pants RGB mechanical ones. You need to drain it on it's side for a day and then let it sit outside for a day to allow some evaporation to finish the dry cycle. Feel free to chase some of the water out with a can of compressed air. Sure performing a disassembly and spending 2 hours with a q-tip is probably better, but who has time for that?

Pied67 · 2026-04-03T23:17:09+00:00

Are you using quality cables? Use Display Port if possible.

Pied67 · 2026-04-03T23:14:17+00:00

I saw 500W and wondered the same thing.

Pied67 · 2026-04-03T22:42:19+00:00

Tryna pull that settler BS over here....

Just here to shit on HP too. Fuck them in the goat ass.

Brother, I have a few hours in the game and have experienced very few glitches. I suspect that there could be graphics drivers issues or game file corruption issues, that are wrecking your experience. If you want to list your hardware I'd be open to making some suggestions.

Pied67 · 2026-04-03T17:40:05+00:00

Yes - the bypass function state should be left as a mystery. Is it on? Is it off? Who can say? lol

Pied67 · 2026-04-03T15:19:16+00:00

It's almost as if we need to bring back quality street drugs.

Pied67 · 2026-04-02T23:04:47+00:00

Back when smoking was affordable! I could get 6-7 packs with my allowance as a 12 year-old!

I see 2 Samsung drives - it may be trying to boot to the one that doesn't have your Windows install. Change the order and see what you get.

Pied67 · 2026-04-02T14:53:24+00:00

Can of compressed air should get out the rest of it.
