Computer Clock gains 1 hour last night
So, I don't own any clocks. I use my laptop and cellphone for that. This morning I notice that my laptop clock is 1 hour ahead of my phone clock. I checked settings and day light savings is checked for 'auto'.

What the hell happened to cause that?

Is your computer from before 2007?

Because in 2007 we changed the daylight savings time dates - we used to spring forward on the first Sunday in April, and in 2006 we switched to springing forward in March.

So if your pc is a lil older, maybe it's still programmed with the April date?

Other strange things?
Like random shutdowns?

Could be the battery on the motherboard (CMOS) is faulty and needs replacing..... that would explain the unexpected time change too.

I'm just guessing here, but that happened to my laptop a few years back. Battery was replaced and laptop works great.

That is so early that it makes me feel ill in sympathy for you.
I'm a night person and could only do 4:15am if I was still awake from yesterday.
Much impressed with your ability to get up early and get at it!

Re: Computer Clock gains 1 hour last night
I've always theorized that the time could be changed dramatically over the course of say, a year. Small changes that even people who use watches would dismiss it as a faulty watch.

On another note, I am pretty sure someone was playing with my computer last week. I was on it when my mouse started to randomly move. The cursor kept going to the top right (I have windows 8.1) then would seem to try to go to something after that. No matter where I moved the cursor. It could be a faulty USB, or the touchpad itself. I was using a mouse during this, which is why I include the USB. I was playing with it for hours. Getting video and pictures throughout.

Still am not sure what was going on as all my antivirus/malware go-to's didn't pick anything up.
