24th May 2032 !

[Linfit]

We have a Stone AIO, rather old now but was working OK, with an ASUS mainboard and AMI UEFI bios.

 

The system clock defaults to Monday 24th May 2032. Always.

 

We have:

 

Tried changing the time in the BIOS - it does not acknowledge any settings have changed on pressing F10 to save and exit.

Removed and replaced the BIOS battery.

Reset the BIOS.

Updated BIOS to the latest version from the web.

Swapped out the HD to use a known good copy of Windows on the same hardware.

 

None of this makes any difference. Date reverts to May 2032

We got it to reset to 2009 after resetting the BIOS but it immediately reverted back.

 

Machine is useless as it won't log on to the domain with such a big time difference, and its too big for windows to roll it back even though we have everything synced to the DC as a time server.

 

Anyone got any suggestions or is the BIOS and therefore the mainboard b******d?

Maybe the flux capacitor needs changing (sorry couldn't resist).

 

Other than flashing the BIOS which you've done, I can't think of why it would default to 2032.

There was one Optiplex 9020 (tower) that I could not fix the BIOS for, no matter what I tried. It didn't prevent it from working, but it was something the students focused on.

 

At start up this one machine would show foreign text (Chinese?) for about 30 seconds before proceeding to the Dell splash screen, and then continuing the boot as normal.

maybe disable the HPET (super guess) maybe the clock is running wayy fast and that date is the highest support in the firmware.
