Hi. I've got this issue on my Vista laptop that's been there since I got the thing about six months ago. The system clock falls behind the actual time at a silly rate, which can be up to several minutes in a session but varies sporadically. Then every so often it will synchronise with a time server and suddenly catch up. Has anyone heard of a Vista issue that could cause this behaviour, or does it seem more likely to you that it's a hardware problem? Any advice appriciated.
Steven.

yer that was gonna be my point if the bios time is doin the same its a battery problem and if the comp is six months old take it back to where u got it from and they should be able to replace it on the spot cos those battiers should last for years!

I'll give that idea about the BIOS a try. I've got a 9 year old computer which the battery is still fine on.

yer u can sometimes get a duff one though they will normally go on for years but that wld be the main reason for your clock goin slow or a few chips on ur motherboard are a little bust. If its only six monts old it will be under waranty.

No, it's running at the out of the box speed. There is another sightly odd issue with it though. It's supposed to have 1 GB of RAM, but the BIOS shows it as having 894 MB (which is also 2 MB less than the first time I checked). I still haven't worked that one out yet.
