If so the battery in the motherboard probably needs to be replaced. Yes, the computer will do some very strange things if the clock and calendar are not correct. It won't update correctly because of something that is called certificates. I ran into this same problem recently trying to work on a computer. I kept getting an error message and when I Googled the error code, 1 of the fixes was the time / date being incorrect. I replaced the motherboard battery, reset the calendar, time , and everything began to work properly. I am not saying this is the fix for your husbands problem but, it is easy enough to check. Hope this helps. Take care.

My husband's computer is not holding the correct time and we would like to fix the problem ourselves. What, if anything, can we do to remedy this problem? Also, would this cause the computer to do strange things? I have checked for viruses, defragged and did all the things I can think of to help but it still runs slow at times. I don't know if this is because the updating is going on at the wrong time and slows the other things down. He mostly uses his computer for playing games. He has an hp computer running xp sp3.
