Computer Clock Speeding Up - Why?
I know that if the battery on your motherboard is dying your computer clock will begin to slow. Well mine is speeding up by about 10 minutes a day. Does anyone know why this is? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Clock speedup is sometimes related to the CMOS Battery starting to go
bad...you might want to replace the battery.
Or sometimes you get a bad clock reading from day to day if you've CMOS A type virus. located in the boot section of your hard disk .

I had this happen to me. My clock was steady at losing 2-3 secs a day, then for a period of a few weeks it was gaining up to 30-45 secs, finally and for no apparent reason it returned to the initial state.
Most odd. Perhaps yours will do the same?
