Date and time changes after restarting.

I'm having a problem with Vista 64, I've verified the date and time in the
bios (new motherboard) what happens is the date and time change to Dec 2016
after the PC restarts and the desktop is ready for action. I've scanned for
viruses and malware and none were found, this is a new install from scratch.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Also I have a "Interactive Services Detection" error that forced me to
disable the service, does anybody know how to fix it instead of disabling
the service?

I could just do another re-install but I'd like to avoid that right now.

Brand new motherboard? What you're describing is a bad motherboard battery.

Did you read his post?

He said "I've verified the date and time in the bios".

I'd guess the time zone is set to +61230 or thereabouts.

To get serious for a moment: perhaps it is doing something odd with the
Internet Time Service (misreading, stuttering, ?). I'd try disabling
that, then go through the reboot process again. Also - did you check
the BIOS time after Windows screwed it up? Do you have to reset it
every time you restart? Did you try to alter the parameters in the
Registry and change the wrong one?

Also, perhaps you could try a different Internet time provider in place
of the default.

Admittedly I'm shooting in the dark...
 
Read? What is this "read" of which you speak?

I thought he meant the BIOS time read Dec 2016.

OK, then this "read" of which I speak is an antonym of "misread" :-)

I withdraw my earlier sarcasm, since we are all capable of misreading.
And I am capable of misinterpreting, as you saw in your case...

I appreciate your good-humored response - it helps create peace in the
world (should I add "in spite of me"?).

Pax in terra hominibus bonae voluntatis, and all that.

Gene, don't read too much into my good-humored-response. You've seen how I
reply to the ignorant and trolls. <EG>
 
If I take out this Sata drive (Ubuntu) and pun in the Vista drive the
Vista clock jumps about 6 hours out of sync, can't recall which way and
I think that is due to the fact that Linux sets the system clock to GMT
while Vista stores you actual chosen Zone time in it.

It is is okay after syncing with a time server but strangely enough teh
same is not true in reverse, Ubuntu always seem to get it right at startup.

So it sounds like something is broken and if the BIOS is correct time it
looks like either something in Vista is broken of there is something bad
about the ntp server it's getting the time from. Wonder if something
like AV could be interfering with the incoming from the ntp server?

I've heard of AV doing strange things, but never interfering with the time
settings. Beats me. Try running sfc/scannow from an elevated command
prompt. Maybe that'll find and repair whatever it is that's causing this
strange problem. Other than that, I haven't any other ideas. Sorry.
