knewsom Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 For some reason my computer's clock keeps getting out of whack, and either running too fast or too slow. I use the network time fix to periodically correct it, but it can be a pain sometimes when my computer's telling me it's 10 or 20 minutes later or earlier than it actually is. I'm not dual-booting, but I AM overclocking... but would that even effect it? Did some searching on this, but all I came up with was dual-boot problems.

knewsom Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 I've been carefully observing, and it seems to consistently LOSE time. Nobody else had this problem?

SuperNet33 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 It could be your BIOS time is in correct, did u check that? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102963-time-flies-no-literally-whys-my-clock-wrong/#findComment-734420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
knewsom Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 would that really cause it to lag though? Or would it just want to change it? I set the BIOS time when I first setup the computer, maybe I need to check it again.

PoloBear Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Same problem here, Q9300 on DS4 2.0, bios 12. And Sound on VLC is stuttering like crazy, only Mplayer works.... With old processor and old bios the system time was perfect, and my temp-monitor worked perfectly. Is there a script somewhere to open preferences-system time, lets say every hour? this should set time and I would be happy again...

Superhai Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 If it lags in both windows and OS X (and/or linux) then there is error with your bios chip, battery or crystal. If it is only in one OS it is because of some sort of bug which is most likely related to a buggy bios as well.

knewsom Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 yikes!! if that's the case, will the time clock in my BIOS lag horribly too? If that's the case, what should I do about it? Call Gigabyte? Is this potentially a major problem?

Is this potentially a major problem? I've tried with and without overclock, all sorts of different clock settings, passing fsb=xxx as a boot parameter, etc, etc -- nothing helped Did you ever find a solution for this? -- Is everyone running on a 45nm processor doomed?
