Replace the BIOS battery on the motherboard ... easy enough to do and only a few pence.

Thx for the quick replies. You are nto the first to say that, but I have also had conflicting stories saying that if it was the battery, it would not remember any settings at all !!

Nope, the "settings" will stay intact until you remover/replace the battery ... so If your not adverse to having a look in the BIOS I would do so, and write down all the settings ... sorry, I know of no 'program' that will do it for you.

It is a little unusual for a 'new' system to have this problem, but not unheard off. It could well turn out to be a faulty clock controller, and if so, you would be better getting a replacement board. Best way to see, is to replace the battery. ;)
