 About your clock dying, I caught a virus about 6 months ago which 
killed my clock and made it do the same thing. The way to kill it is 
one of two things:
 
1)Use "setclock reset"
2)Take out the battery on the clock board and put it back in after 
about 20 seconds.
 
My battery wouldn't come out (it's soldered to the board), so I shorted 
the two terminals together (VERY DANGEROUS!!!! Don't do unless you want 
to risk it!). It scrambled clock RAM. I turned on my machine and 
setclock found the clock. I set the time and date and no problems 
since.
 This may or may not be your problem, but if it is, this should help.
