Wow I feel really dumb I think that fixed things.
I am glad you got it resolved, but your response does not make it clear what the problem was, or what you did to correct it - so it is not much help to others reading now, or future readers.
Was the system date/time totally wrong?
If so,
how did it get to be so far off? :confused2:
By default, Windows checks and sets the system time to "Internet time" once a week. Did you change the defaults? Were you messing with the system clock?
If me, and there is no "user reason" (cranial flatulence!!!) for the clock to be way off, I would suspect a failing/weak CMOS battery. I would power off the computer, unplug from the wall, open the side panel, touch bare metal of the case interior, then pull the CMOS battery and run to Wal-mart or your local battery/watch/camera store to get another (probably CR2032). Most battery centers recycle, so take the old with you.
Do not touch the new battery with your bare fingers - skin oils promote corrosion and attract dust. I put a clean cotton sock over my hand. Touch bare metal of the case, and insert the new battery. Inspect the interior for dust build-up and clean as necessary. Give each fan a small "flick" with a finger to ensure they spin freely, and ensure all cables are securely fastened and routed to minimize impacting front-to-back air flow through the case.
Connect power and fire it up,
booting directly into the BIOS setup menu (since pulling the battery reset the BIOS). Re-set date and time, ensure all drives are recognized and the boot order is correct, then
Save and Exit to boot normally.
Then [hopefully] there should be no recurrence of this problem.
If the problem was do to cranial flatulence, then slap yourself upside the head and move on!
