Hi,
I have several PCs appear to have the date change on them for periods of
less than an hour every couple of days or so.
When I go into event viewer and look at the appplication or system event
log, I leave the default view up and as you scroll down the list the date
will change then change back to the right order. If I go to View/Newest
First or Oldest First, it stays consistent, for instance one event will show
2/10/08, then the next 3/10/08 then the next back to 2/10/08.
Changes back to the correct date appear to sometimes occur after a
synchronization with a time server so I'm assuming that events in the event
log have an internal date and time that is not shown, so that in the default
list view the order is correct, but the date and time shown in the list view
reflects the date and time in windows when the event was recorded.
Do my assumptions seem correct? Has anyone seen this behaviour before?
I need to understand further how the time in the BIOS and the time in
Windows work with each other. I'm further assuming that the reason the
events are in that order is that the BIOS time is not changing and so the
internal date/time of the event then remains constant allowing me to see the
correct order of events.
Does this assumption appear to be correct?
