System Date Changes to correct time but year 8113

432 Views Asked by At

Every couple of days (2 times a week) a desktop (Win. 7) starts up with my date-time updated. The time, date & month is correct but in year 8113. This makes several programs like Word/Excel working inappropriate & crashing.

BIOS/CMOS battery has been replaced, several antivirus programs had scanned & find find any virusses. No malware or suspicious software is installed.

Does it sounds familiar to someone ?

I would appreciate any help or advice.

Thanks !

I know you would probably like an answer that tackles the origin of your problem. Unfortunately I don't see where this could come from.

Instead, I wanted to suggest that you check your time-synchronization. Windows can sync with time servers and does so in a predefined interval.

You could try to change the time-server and to change the interval.

The time-server can be changed like this: http://mintywhite.com/windows-7/7maintenance/windows-seven-7-sync-system-clock-with-internet-time-how-to/

The interval has to be changed by altering a registry key, namely \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time \TimeProviders\NtpClient (It is in seconds, so 86400 is the value for an interval of 1 day!).

Maybe it's not a fix of the originating problem, but frequent updates of your system time should reduce the resulting problems.
