System time not being stored

Hi,

The system time on my laptop is no longer being stored on shutdown.  Time is kept perfectly while the computer's on (once I've manually reset it to correct it), but every time I start up it's completely wrong.

I don't think it's the CMOS battery because when I previously had an issue with that, the countdown in GRUB didn't work, but it does now.

Can anyone suggest how to correct or diagnose the problem?

Thanks.

Every time you start it up, what's the date? Do you dual boot? Anything special about your setup?

Hello fishonadish!

Did you measured with multimeter, if cmos is good?
Is the time good in bios ?
Is the time after booting randomly ?
Did the daemon start without any error ?

In last case, you can use ntp.
