    Time problems after changing motherboard

    Since I got a new motherboard my time gets about 5 minutes ahead each 12 hours and I have to keep resyncronizing it.

    Is this a motherboard problem or could it be because I used a different version of Windows XP?

    Thanks

    sounds like that your clock quartz is vibrating a bit fast...

    do you do an automatic update for your time? (dbl click clock, last tab internet time, automatically update)...

    Yes I have to do an auto update a few times per day to keep the right time.

    So is this a hardware problem? (I never should have bought an MSI board again, I didnt have one MSI board that didnt have a serious problem, but this was the only one with the features I wanted)

    all the timeing on the mobo's are controlled by a quartz chrystal vibratiing a set time a second, much like a wrist watch. try going 2 days w/out updatein the time see what happens, if it's out like a 30 minutes then yah it's hardware.

    It seems to me that you'd want to know if this is a Windows problem or a hardware problem.

    Granted you did change HARDWARE, so it's likely to be that.

    I would be more interested to see if the BIOS clock is off after a few days of idle.

    Make a very simple DOS boot disk. Boot into DOS. Let it sit for a pre-determined amount of time, then check BIOS clock. If it's off, then, yeah, I'd agree it's hardware.
    Cheers,

    If I look in the windows time properties, the second needle moves erratically (3 seconds can go by faster than usual, then 1 second is slower, etc).

    Try doing a complete bios re-set, this has helped me in the past with time problems.
