Some years ago, I used the Iwill P4GB motherboard to build my own system.  I have built my own systems since the mid 1980's.

No problems - until recently.

The clock/calendar LOSES its mind upon shut down.  I looked for a BATTERY in the P4GB manual, but could not find any reference to one. 

This is getting to be a major nuisance:  Every time I boot the system, I have to reset the clock.  Most of those times, The calendar is way off in space - all the way from year 1600 to 2400 and years between.

When the calendar fails, my spam/spyware software tells me it has expired.  Everything gets well when I reset the clock.

I have TRIED USING the Internet Time utility, but it does not work reliably - if at all.

Does anybody have any SUGGESTIONS other than buying a new MB and chip??
