nForce 2 motherboard can't keep time?

[Trevelyan]

Hm... for some reason my nForce2 motherboard can't keep time... I just synced it yesterday, and its already 13 minutes fast today...

What could be causing this problem? Windows XP, btw.

Maybe the CMOS battery is dying. I hear they're cheap and can be had at Walmart etc.

If it's not the battery then check to see if ACPI Uniprocessor PC is present in the device mangler as suggested here

Though not recently, I remember a problem with McAffee antivirus causing the clocks in some Dell desktops we had to run slow.
Just a Sugestion.

If it is the battery, it's probably a CR2032 and runs about 2 to 3 bucks.
