Check the Date and Time on your system to be sure that they are correct.

  1. If the Date is incorrect on your system, it may fall outside of the "Issued On" and "Expires On" dates for the certificate.
  2. To view the dates for the certificate(s) you should click on the Site Identity Button (colored icon on the left end of the Location/URL bar), then click "More Information", the Page Info window will open, click the Security Tab, then click View Certificate.

If your system does not hold the Date/Time after being powered down and left off overnight, the battery on your motherboard may need to be replaced. I replace mine about every 12 to 18 months to avoid such problems. Check with your system manufacturer or in your system user manual as to how to replace it and the proper battery to use.
