Time keeps on getting reset on old PC.(even after battery replaced)

I have an old Intel 865 based PC that date/time keeps on resetting to 2002 ? replaced Motherboard battery and even then I see this happening. The other problem with this PC it doesn't shutdown - instead it going to complete power down it restarts.. I did a reset on bios but to no avail. Wondering there is something really wrong with this MB ? What to try next ?

mine also misbehaved in this manner for some time. i replaced the battery but the problem continued and then it started behaving again on its own.
shutdown had no problem

your motherboard might be faulty. also first check with another psu.

check if the battery contact on the mobo are clean, and if the battery is properly inserted. remount the battery.

since he mentioned that the pc restarts,i guess the psu can also be a culprit. not sure though.

hmm.. he says instead of shut down, its doing restarts??

never heard of this kind of problem.

@OP: call up service center..

his psu may be providing voltage above/below the specified threshold.it could be/could not be the issue, just my guess
