Hi folks, I'm back after a forced break (lost my login and have been hellishly busy these last few months) with a question I thought I'd posted ages ago, but I can't find it now;

My set up is as given in my sig (apart from the burnt out 450W Q-Tec PoS erm PSU) and I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced their computer clock running about 50-100% too fast? At the moment, the Windows clock seems to advance 1 hour in about 30-45 minutes. Benchmarking gives normal results, so I can;t tell if my system has overclocked itself of whether the Windows clock is screwed!

Any ideas would be gratefully recieved.

Andy

P.S. I'm going to be reinstalling Winblows in the near future and putting SuSe 9.2 Pro on board. Wish me luck...

Check the clock in your bios, and see if that is at the same time as windoh's.

Do you think stopping and restarting the service might have any effect?
I'm pretty sure it just does syncronization of time though.Still,might work.

Whenever the computer is rebooted, the system clock is correct. It's just when Winblows get's hold of it that it goes haywire...

So, the time and date is set correctly in the bios?

Check out the service configuration. At the "Run" box, type "services.msc". Scroll down, and find "Windows Time". Verify that this is set to "Automatic".
