This may be a long shot, but is it possible the BIOS battery is dying or is |

Also, another thing worth checking and the main reason I respond is, have you |
| 14 |
considered the possibility of an intrusion? I have seen things gone awry |
| 15 |
before with the addition of a kernel rootkit, and it might be worth looking |
| 16 |
into just in case. Probably not the case, but, better safe than sorry. |
