also icons are not being displayed right (as in the icons down the system try etc are just blocks of horizontal lines) again could this be as result of he above or is the GC gone dodgy?

Thanks

Is that the clock in BIOS or in windows? If it is the latter, it's a software issue. If it is the first (so both), then did you flash the BIOS at some stage? Multiple (historical) dates might have corrupted BIOS. Flash with original or newer BIOS version

Problem with either battery or mobo would normally lead to BIOS resetting itself with the original bios date and not multiple dates

Hope this helps m8

The BIOS CMOS could be faulty. Dont have a clue how to check if it is.
