My Computer Clock is Slow

[korme]

How to fix?

I freaking hate this too. I think some of the clock adjusters are spamware tho.

Isn't that a sign that the battery on your motherboard is going bad?

Most likely.

If you shut your computer off at night, it's probably the CMOS battery. Pop open the case and look for a round watch battery attached to the motherboard. Shut down/replace battery and you're set. You may have to go into your BIOS afterwards and change any settings that were lost, as the battery also keeps your CMOS settings while the computer is shut down.

Its also a sign that you're taxing your computer too much (at least if it is the windows clock and not the bios clock, the two can have different times).

I use http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/.

This works to keep my clock on time, as it often changes when I try to run too many things at once.

If you have XP you can set it to automatically sinc with a time server can't you?

[Easy Mac]

I've tried, but it just keeps searching until I close the window, it must not like my network or something, so I go outside windows.

Hmm it works fine for me. You have to switch from time.windows.com to time.nist.gov though. I could never get the former to work.

I like Rocket Time.

yes, i do this and then ten minutes later my time is lagging again

all this bios crap sounds complicated

Norton Anti-Virus always causes my clock to become out of synch. It's probably a resource thing. I need a new system.
