Shorah,

I have an Asus PTGD1-LA (3 PCI, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR motherboard (almost four years old).

My pc is a:
HP Pavilion 061
Product: PC109A-ABA A630N
Version: 0nB1211RE101GROUP00

Would it be a good idea to change my CMOS battery before it fails or should I wait until it starts behaving strangely ?

Thank you for your time,
Nanouk.

P.S.
If I do, I intend to follow these instructions...click here

Hi Nonouk,
I had a simulur problem with my comp. which is about 4 to 5 years old. But I am using XP Sp2 and when started up, it warned me my battery was getting low. I don't know if all makers of machines using XP is going to give this warning. But for the price of a battery and the short time it takes to replace. It is not a bad idea. Of course I am using a Dell and the case has a door you just open and you can get inside easyly. I guess it is a piece of mind thing. Take a chance and not replace it or do it for your own piece of mind. What ever you do is up to you. Good luck.

Unless you're the adventurous type and enjoy strange behavior in your PC, I'd recommend replacing the CMOS battery *before* it fails!
