Hi Forum,

This happens sometime, not sure what is causing this. I have triple boot Windows 7, Ubuntu and Mint. When I switch on my monitor, i am prompted to press F1 to go to bios, where i can see the clock has been reset to a time in past (2009). Now i have two options, changing the date in bios or logging into windows and changing the time from there (manually or internet synchronized). Both work fine, but only for the next 3 -4 boots, well maybe not exactly 3 -4 boots maybe more or maybe less, but for sure i have to repeat the process again? Any Ideas what might be the reason for this?? Its not a major problem but is annoying... is the Dying BIOS battery the reason?
