Losing time,date and wireless settings

[jameister]

Hi There

I have a G5 Duel 2GHz Power PC, Recently I was losing the time, date and wireless settings so I assumed as my machine is now 4 years old the PRAM battery was up for renewal.

This has now been replaced but I'm still losing my settings, not all the time but randomly, sometimes I lose my wireless key sometimes I lose time and date sometimes both, this can happen daily.

I have removed the (New) Battery and checked the voltage and it reads 3.6 Volts, I haven't checked this under load though, so presuming that the battery is OK, what else could cause this.. a failing System Board???

Thanks in Advance

Jamie

I'd suspect its some kind of flaky software thing. You need to take an inventory of you login items that are tied to your account and shut them all off. If that solves it for a while you can start adding them back one by one. If you have no login items or if that doesn't help try a safe boot and see if that straightens things out for you.
