I have a p3 933mhz -

Over the last couple days my system clock has always been wrong on boot, I will reset it, and still the next cold boot it will be wrong again.

So I shut it off last night and everything was fine. This morning I went to turn it on and everything came on but nothing was displayed on my screen. It seemed like nothing was being sent signal, it was just a blank screen and a computer case with no activity, and the monitor light was green. After playing with it for a while I finally got it to boot. Only this time it booted at 700mhz. Before the boot though, I got 3 beeps from the system speaker, and then on the first screen it said that my cmos settings were incorrect. But I've never even messed with them so how is this possible? I hit f2 and loaded the default settings and finally booted it.

In windows, nothing worked, I couldn't sign online and couldn't do much of much, plus the date was set to January 1, 1601...?

So I finally went back and tried booting again and this time it was gonna boot at 433... I went into my bios settings and reset my fsb speed and multiplier so I would yeild the 933mhz. This finally fixed my problem, but am scarred to find out what will happen on my next cold boot. Any have any ideas? Thanks guys :) !
 
Are all of your custom bios settings wrong? If so, and your m/b is 2-4 yrs old you might need a new battery.
 
Another vote for the CMOS battery being dead.
