Computer Clock go BOOM!

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Okay, so this is an odd one, even by my standards, my computer's clock keeps going to shit.

However, it seems to go to shit the same way every time, and be fixed by updating from any old NTP (so it's not a borked NTP issue)

Incidentally, it doesn't seem to show up in the time-service logs, only in kernel-general as event type 1

Ideas?

I'll swap the battery out, but the way it's losing time makes me think voodoo, not flat battery.

How bizarre.

I've been having clock issues as well. Currently my pc is half an hour behind the times. Earlier on in the week it was an hour behind. I think mine is the battery though.

No idea why yours is losing exactly 8 hours though. That's very odd.

Is it travelling very fast?

Now you mention it, I have noticed it accelerating to the speed of light during the evening.

You didn't let superman use your computer did you?

Have you tried resetting the windows time service in services.msc in case it's set to manual start up?

[Dr. kitteny berk]

I hadn't, now I have. good thought

We'll have to see if it works.
