Clock loses time

[Steve Marshall]

I have XP Pro installed and just upgraded my motherboard to a Gigabyte
P-4 Titan (SIS-648 chipset) with an Intel P-4 3.06 GHz cpu, 512 DDR-400 RAM.

Since the upgrade (I did a clean install on freshly formatted C: Drive -
Western Digital ATA 133 80MB HDD) my clock loses one half hour per day!
I can update it using Windows Time Server but the next morning, while it
is shut down, my computer has literally gone into a time warp and lost
half an hour.

Ideas?

I was surfing earlier today - looking for a utility that
would keep my system clock accurate. I found a site
(can't remember exactly how) but the general information
there said not to use the utility if you were running XP
because XP already had a program that kept the clock
accurate. Sure sounds like it's the battery.

Run help and support and search 'clock'.
