Date keeps changing - ASRock H110M-HDS

 

Did you go from 1.10 to 7.10 directly or did you update to 1.20 then to 7.10

 

I do not know if it makes a difference but it looks like the 1.20 update fixes a few more things,  not sure how it works but if 7.10 doesn't include all these fixes you might have missed some updated items.  Normally I would think the latest bios update includes ALL previous fixes but who knows? I'm somewhat sure your bios can be reverted to previous ones then try the update again.   If the flash says the update is not for your MB then that is the way ASRock protects you from installing the wrong bios.   Also some updates come with their own update program and do not use the ASR Apps.  The updates are put on a fat32?  USB stick and Unzipped.

 

Also you might double check your Time Zone.

 

If all else fails and perhaps at the absolute last result.. There are some Clock/Sync programs which update your time and date automatically.  Some can be set to sync updates to your computers clock/date every few minutes to make sure your date and time are correct. 

  I used one of these for awhile until I found an updated bios fixed it, had it sync every 5 minutes so the most off sync time I had was less than 5 minutes.

 

Check this out.

1. Dimension 4

Dimension 4 is probably the most popular time correction software for computers running Windows operating system. It is free for personal use but commercial users will require to purchase a license at $10 each. What we like about Dimension 4 is it comes with a huge list of time servers, able to load the program at Windows startup through services, run a time sync once and then automatically exiting the program. Apart from that, if the time server fails, it can automatically retry the next time server until it gets a working time sync.

ALSO,   YOU might find a "service"  which is (a secondary cause) for the problem.  click start > run > then type msconfig then click the services tab.  Down at the lower left you will see a box with Hide all Windows/MS services  check that box.  Now all the services you have listed are extras from other programs.   Uncheck the first half of the services hit apply and reboot then check to see if these services are still off if not uncheck them again and hit apply.  Allow your computer to run and wait for a date change, if no date change then one of the unchecked services is causing the date change,  you can then recheck 1/2 of the those and run the computer ete etc to basically eliminate the good services from the one which is causing the date change.   I did this and found that Acronis had a service running which scheduled it's back-ups and when I unchecked this service the date stayed correct,  this was only a temporary fix,  eventually I found out how up update a bios.

 

Please search the internet for more specific info about using MSconfig I may have missed something since I am going from memory not absolutes.

 

I have a H110M-DS/Hyper motherboard, with Bios P1.80

Running an i5-6400 CPU

Have tried everything suggested and nothing has worked yet.

Info for H110M-HDS  (motherboard with 1151 intel socket)

Latest Bios     7.30

if the above bios does not fix it

 then try  the BETA bios 7.32    see bottom of Bios page.

As with any Bios update,  take due care at your own responsibility, 

Go to the Website, pick your motherboard, find the bios updates,  save the update to your computer and later to a USB stick.   FIND the information on how to install the update manually that is by not using the ASRock App (which btw would not update my bios).  You can use the app to check the version of the bios on your motherboard and then check to see if your version is the latest one listed on the ASRock website.  If the Website has a later version and your ASRock APP will not install it then you must do it without the app.  That is why you need to find the info on how to update the bios w/o the app.  I'm not sure if they call it manually or something else.    I vaguely remember that you might be able to update the bios by using the F2, Del or whatever it says and use the onboard program but you will need to have the USB stick in the drive with the update on it, so that the internal program can find it.   These are SUGGESTIVE and I don't have time to look up all the EXACT info on how to do it  but I am sure it can be found somewhere on the ASRock site or maybe google " how to update my ASRock motherboard bios... etc.."    1st thing check the ASRock app on your computer to see what the present version of the bios is!  then go to ASRock website and check the lastest bios version released for your motherboard.  ((P.S  the ASRock App is a little program you installed on your computer using the installaton disk which came with the motherboard.   The drivers and programs on this disk are usually installed when you are installing your OS etc.  I am sure it can be installed later as an addon from the ASRock site if it is not already on your computer))   P.S.  ALL the drivers on your computer need to be checked for updates and updated as needed.  ONLY then can you address computer issues properly.  Hope this is not too confusing.
