Time Clock Speeding Up
I have reset my time clock once each of the last 4 days. Each time, I notice that my clock is 7 minutes ahead of what it should be. I was told that the slowing down/speeding up of the time clock indicates a serious processor problem. Anybody have any experience with this or can offer some extra advice?

What? No specs? ._.
I never ran into this problem but maybe I can offer some advice. Firstly, is this only happening while using windows (or linux?) Or is this also occurring in the BIOS settings? Yes, let the computer run for a hour and see if the time matches your watch, or something. If it is try swapping out the CMOS battery with a new one. That tends to fix all sorts of problems. If the BIOS clock seems normal then it maybe something on your OS that's disrupting your clock, the worse case being a virus. So run a anti-virus program before trying anything else. Assuming its not a virus a simple solution would be to reset your "windows time service", if you are running windowsXP. Just follow these steps: 1) Go to Start > Run then type: cmd 2) net stop w32time 3) w32tm.exe /unregister 4) w32tm.exe /register 5) net start w32time (note the spelling w32tm and w32time in different commands, it is not a typo.) Then reset your computer and see if the problem presents itself again. Well that's about all I can think of, but one things for sure its not the chip. Since the clock is controlled by a crystal oscillator on the motherboard. But if that thing is the culprit I think it would cause more problems than just speeding up the computer's watch. |
