Hi, Recently for past few days I am encountering a problem my time in Windows and also the BIOS is falling behind by around 2 hours and 15 minutes. The date remains the same I tried fixing the issue by connecting the PC to internet and syncing it with windows time server. It fixed the issue but now again facing the issue. Is it a problem with the BIOS or the CMOS battery ? This is a new PC only around 5 to 6 months old. PS: This system is not connected to internet I only connect it with my mobile phone internet when I need to download a game from steam or other softwares.
It might be useful to review this. Otherwise, I’d replace the battery since it’s not functioning properly. Have you attempted removing and reinserting it?
I'm not ready to proceed because of the fear. My BIOS is set at 1823, but the ASUS website shows a newer version as 2006.
It's not as intimidating as it seems. This should be fixable, possibly easing the update process. However, it's still improbable.
Ensure you have a fresh CR2032 battery just in case. It’s safe to swap it out—no major concerns. However, the battery is mainly for keeping the clock and settings running while the PC is off or unplugged; once the PC is back on, power comes from the 5V standby of your supply, so a battery failure is unlikely (though not impossible). Check the notes about the BIOS update; if it doesn’t affect your processor or anything negative, consider upgrading. If everything else works fine and you don’t notice the time problem, don’t rush the upgrade—it probably won’t fix the issue.
The problem resolved itself automatically. After a few months, I turned it on by pressing the power button for a short time, then restarted it again and powered it off and back on. It didn’t happen again.
