PC clock doesn't work anymore

The problem is that it will only go 1-2 hours and then reset to the time I adjusted it, like if I would adjust it now, it would reset to now (18 o'clock) in two hours. And the date doesn't match anymore aswell. I've also adjusted it in the BIOS but it still didn't fix the problem

Try disabling internet time and replacing your CMOS battery...

My PC is only 9 months old, that cannot be...

 

CMOS batter replacement usually fixes stuff like this. Not that hard to do. My computer is 3 months old and I've done it before, as simple as taking out a battery.

@Jerombolo, take out the old battery and see what it says on the bottom of it. Thats the model you need to get. You can take the battery to local electronics shop so you wil definitely get the right one.

Take away the machine's internet access for a while and see if the issue persists. If the CMOS battery is the problem it shouldn't reset when the PC is powered on so I don't think that's it. If you do feel like replacing it, just for good measure, it's usually a CR2032 battery.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Synchronize the time in Windows. I doubt it's the battery, unless you're also unplugging the PC during that time. It may also be a problem in the BIOS.
