Every time I get back to my PC after leaving it on for a while, maybe an hour or two, the time is 30 minutes fast. I have WinXP SP2 and I use the internet time tab in the clock to update the time every time i notice it's off. Yet whenever I leave the computer alone for a while, the time is back to 30 minutes fast. Sometimes it's fast right when I turn the computer on after it's been off all night.
I've built and maintained computers for years and have never run across a FAST clock before. Many times I've seen a slow clock be the result of a bad CMOS battery, but this is a first for me.
I've re- flashed the BIOS, I'm not overclocking, and I'm only running one OS. Any info or tips would be greatly appreciated.
