Odd problem this but for some reason sometimes when I boot into Windows (XP Home) The time has juped about three hours ahead of the actual time.

It happens on about 80% of restarts or power ups.

It's a new build and a fresh install, it's confusing the crap out of me?:confused:

Time is set to GMT London etc.

Is it manually set or syncing with a time server?

If its manual, sounds like a bad BIOS battery.

It's set to automatically sync with time.windows.com

I'd assume the battery if it didn't remember everything else, OC settings, boot order etc.

Although I have noticed that the time has been wrong in the bios.
1 min going to check again (damn sure I changed it though) :)

Just went back into the bios where the time was reading 22:00 ish, changed it to the right time 19:00, saved and exited.

Windows now says 22:00 ish :(

Went back into the bios and the time once again reads 22:00, looks like it isn't saving my time setting, it saves everything else though?
 
Take a look at your location settings in windows and make sure you have GMT London selected and enable DST.

If thats correct then its got the be the board cmos/battery but if it is remembering your over clock then i have not a clue! :eek:

Not yet, I've cleared CMOS, reset the time, booted into Windows and the time was fine, restarted and the same thing is happening.

How is this even possible??:confused:

-edit- Quick bios update seems to have done the trick, although I prefer the theory that my new Quad is so fast it can alter the fabric of space and time. We'll see how it goes.

Cheers all
