This is usually when your backup battery has died. Inside the computer there is (basically) a watch battery that stores information like time/date when the computer is turned off. If it doesn't get any power, it can't remember or update with the internal clock.

∙ 12y agoThe only problem I can think of is the battery, located on the motherboard. Small, flat and cheap to buy. This small battery keeps the tiny little compartments on the motherboard running whenever there is no power directly in the PSU (the thing you plug the power into) when this battery runs our time, dates, small bits of information can be lost. Or the cylinder shaped things with the faintly outline of a cross on have bulged out. In this case the board is useless and you may have to buy a new motherboard :-)

∙ 7y agoThe problem is - the back-up battery. Inside the computer - is a small back-up battery, which supplies a tiny amount of power to the internal clock chip, when mains power is not present (or the computer is switched off). It usually looks like a digital watch battery. The clock chip - keeps the date and time current - rolling the date over at midnight. However - the battery that supplies the chip does not last forever - and needs replacing periodically. Check with a local computer repair shop for the cost of replacement.

∙ 7y agoThe problem is... the battery supplying power to the CMOS chip is faulty. There is a 'button cell' which supplies power to the CMOS chip when the mains power is off - to ensure the date and time remain current. However - the batteries do not last forever - and need replacing periodically.

∙ 6y agoIf you're talking about the computer 'forgetting' the time and date... The problem is the back-up battery. Since it's usually fixed onto the motherboard, you'll need to take it to a repair shop.

When you press the space bar it makes a instead of a blank space?
My Computer has done this before too. It means that your computer has been on for to long and is over heating, if you leave your computer on over night. Then what you should do is turn it off while you sleep, turn it off when you are not using it, and after downloading or adding things to your computer restart it. I hope I helped. =]

Do you have to turn off your computer?
It depends how long you are planning on leaving it for. If it is for overnight or longer then, yes, turn it off. If you are leaving it for less then an hour then you don't need to turn it off. If you need to leave it but are planning on going back on then there should be a hibernate or sleep option to use on your computer. Hope this helps!If you are not planning to use the computer for a long period of time, Turn it of.f it may be idle for an hour or less, use the hibernate setting,
Should I turn my PC off at the wall plug each night?
No, just let monitor go to sleep unless you will be away for more than a couple days. Many computer experts say it is better for you to leave it on then reboot daily.
When you turn off a computer at night it loses the date and you must reenter it each morning what is the problem and how do you solve it?
<improved answer>Just to correct the old answer, if the CMOS battery is dead, then the computer will not turn on in order for you to reenter it the next morning. It means that the CMOS battery is getting weak, and yeah, you could replace it. <old answer>It is most likely that the CMOS battery is dead. Replace it.
