Thanks to everyone who replied to this message.
But still , any tips on my other problem (which I restate below )??
________________________________________________
Recently I got a hint. The time shown by my computer
is the same as the one at which I switched off the computer.
The time starts ticking only when I restart the computer
and stops again when I switch it off.
Is this because of a problem with the motherboard's
battery ? I believe that the life of the battery has not
'finished ' as the motherboard itself is only about
7 months old.
Also , has this got anything to do with the problem
I am facing during the boot process ?
