PC clock

[Mobster101]

So recently I've seen that my PC clock is not keeping up with the real time, for example when if I turn off my PC at 10PM the next day it keeps showing that its 10PM when its actually like 2PM, its not a major problem besides the fact that if I don't sync the clock I can't use some websites, but it annoys me, I've tried various methods of trying to fix this but none have worked, I read that it could be a virus or that the CMOS battery on the mother board could be the problem. So if you know a way to fix this it would be a great help.

the cmos battery is most likely dead.

 

You should replace it.

by any chance do you know how to replace it on a Maximus VI Formula motherboard?

It uses a cr2032 battery . They are common and are found everywhere. ( redundant statement is redundant )

Just take the battery out and put a new one in.

thx for the help, but the thing is that, the CMOS battery is under the mobo's armor

you'll have to remove the armor then ( probably held down by screws or plastic push pins )

You'll have to remove the cover as @Coaxialgamer said. Should be screws at the back of the motherboard, 4-6 of them.

The battery will most likely be behind the stamped name next to the x1 slot.

 

Do you turn your computer off by the all when you shut it down?
