whenever i start my computer, i get this black screen listing a bunch of info about my comp, and ends with these two lines:

Error
0271: Check date and time settings

Warning
0251: System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used


Whenever i turn on the comp, the time/date resets back to jan 1, 2005. and system restore doesn't work, cuz all the earlier restore points have been wiped out. i've installed a few things recently, but nothing i can think of that can cause this error. is there any way to repair this issue?

The CMOS battery on you motherboard has probably gone dry. All you have to do is to get a new one and replace the old one.

Maybe it's at that point where it has just enough juice left to work a few more times.
It's only $1 for a new battery.

If that's not it, the BIOS could be corrupt. Download your BIOS update and flash it to correct the problem.

Your battery is just thirsty. Water it a few times. Lets hope you can ignore bad avice as easily as the good advice that was already given.
