Clock ticking fast.

[oshta]

Not sure if this is hardware or software and im going to have to do a bit of digging.

However someone else might have had the same problem so its worth a shout.
- Basicaly, the clock ticks to fast on my computer. About three minutes every 2.

Im not sure if it ticks too fast when the computers off, but i assume windows just reports the time directly from the mobo clock in realtime. I'll have to to check that. Or watch it ticking via the bois for a bit before i boot. Its that far out its pretty noticable just counting seconds.

You would not beleive how annoying it is. Ive had to turn it of becuase i kept giving myself minor heartattacks yesterday thinking i had missed appointments.

Just reinstalled Xp on new HDD about the time it happened, but can see that affecting it?

Motherboard is a NF7-S2 so not the oldest board in the planet. I hope its not dieing on me.

It could be the mobo battery going, happened to me on an old P4 system

Nice post count btw

I guess thats a good a thing to check as anything isnt it!


Never really looked at or thought about my post count.
- I used to spend a lot of time posting and reading on here, although lately ive only really posted when ive had something to ask or a topic has jumped out at me.

He meant you had a post count of 1337

But not anymore!

Anyway back on topic, yeah try changing the battery.

Would it be displaying a huge amount of ignorance to ask the signifcance of 1337?

Its immature internet speak, numbers = letters so 1337 = LEET = Elite

I have to admit i had totally missed that too, as you can tell, i thought it was just a random comment about its size.

Batterys on the shopping list. Although its behaving its self at the moment.
