Computer Clock question

[Kam]

I just built myself a new computer, including an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard. Everything is working well but I am experiencing something I have not experienced before.

The clock (lower right hand corner of screen) gains about 5 minutes every 8 hours.

If I was Quiksand, I would now ask you how many times the time would be correct in a given month. :)

Instead, I will ask is there a jumper on the board to reset the clock. A BIOS option? Is it a bad battery? What is the long-term effect of having a screwy clock.

(Right now I am just synchronizing the clock a few times a day...)

Oh yeah, Win XP Pro with all updates, newest drivers, etc.

Click on the clock and go to the "Internet Time" tab, and make sure it's not checked....... That's most likely your problem...

On a side note, I just built a computer with the same motherboard about 2 days ago. Awsome performance.

I put a 2500+ Barton (333 Front Side Bus). Very happy with the performance so far.

Great deal on the motherboard, CPU, RAM and case (including 2 fans) from NewEgg.com - all less than $400.

And LionKing I unchecked the box. Will see if it works. (If it does, then I feel silly ... so I am hoping it is something much more involved. :) )
