Procedure 4: Make sure the PC Battery is okay and update the BIOS as well

Only after you have performed all the procedures mentioned above that you should think about this one. If your problem is not solved even after the above solutions, then the problem might also arise due to a problem with the battery. BIOS is responsible for storing all information regarding Time and Date and any damage to it would hamper the accuracy of time and date. So for this, you need to check the date and time in your BIOS. If it is wrong over there as well, then you need to change your battery. But an outdated BIOS can also lead to this problem and to update it, you must take the help of a professional due to its complexity.
