The Windows clock gets its initial time from the
motherboard when it boots up, but how does the clock keep
accurate time after that?
I'm having a very stange problem with my Windows XP
clock. Sometimes when my computer boots up the Windows XP
clock runs very fast, about 9 minutes too fast after one
hour. Sometimes the clock runs perfectly normal. If I
turn my system on in the morning and it is running too
fast, I have to reset the system once to get the clock to
run at normal speed. The two or three times I've gone
into the bios menu to watch the clock, it was normal and
also, every time I turn my computer on in the morning the
windows xp clock starts out in sync with real time. These
facts would suggest the motherboard's clock is not at
fault.
I'd really appreciate any help on this. It has been very
difficult to find anyone who has even the slightest clue
about this strange problem.
