PC clock keeps jumping ahead 18 mins. Why? virus?

[glen]

I keep resyncing my clock with the atomic clock servers by double clicking on the time, then selecting the internet time tab, and pressing "Update Now."

Less than an hour later, I am ahead 18 mins.

maybe the crack pipe needs to be put away?

Could be a network timekeeper.

Replace your CMOS battery on your motherboard.

Its a temporal rift. Reverse the polarity of the contact buffers. If that doesn't work, then try modulating the refresh frequencies.

The battery can make the time go faster as the battery becomes weaker?

 

[bootymac]

It's time travelling!

 

[BooGiMaN]

are you overclocking it?

i had a problem like this when i worked at the bios company..turned out a bios needed to set a bit in the code.....i think it was due to it being a tualitin processor though

I have replaced the battery, and it is still running fast.

lol you waited two weeks to update us?

I thought the CMOS battery was the problem as well.

What OS are you using? Also might want to post this in "Operating Systems" as well. I know you won't get quick responses, but people usually give you the answers you need.
