Hello
My system clock keeps stopping every time I turn off my computer.
It worked perfectly up until 7 days ago
Anybody got an idea how to fix.

Thank You

Normal solution is to replace the button cell on your motherboard.

Mine uses a CR2032. Radio Shack#: 23-162

I had to replace the cmos battery a couple of years ago on my old machine
that I gave to my folks. I had a heck of a time finding one. I had to
unsolder it and solder it back in.

Remember those root beer barrels candy? It looked just like one, about the
same size only it was green and had a lead out of each end.

Wait, a picture of one here, 3.6V CMOS Batteries...

I couldn't find a decent picture of

But I went down memory lane seeing all the old candy that I thought was long
gone.

Pixy Stix, Atomic Fireball, candy necklace, root beer barrel, candy
cigarettes, Boston Baked Beans, Teaberry gum, Pez Dispenser, Necco Wafers,
Chiclets Gum

Man Necco Wafers, I really liked the black ones, Pez Dispensers? <LOL>

I wonder if they still have those wax lips? <ROTFL>

Yepper!
