CMOS gets erased when the battery goes.Maybe there is short circuit somewhere.

Periodically (every 6 wks or so), my CMOS memory gets erased, and I have to
take my computer to a technician to get it fixed. Any idea why this may be
happening? He suggested it may be power fluctuations coming from my home
socket. Is this a possibility? Anything else which might be responsible? I
am running Win XP Pro, on an AMD Athlon XP 1800+, with 1.49 GHz, and 512 MB
of RAM. Thanks,
