This is almost certainly a hardware problem. If it isn't a hardware problem, it is at least not distribution specific. This doesn't really belong in a Gentoo mailing list. That being said...

Some rhetorical questions (in no particular order):

Does the problem persist when you use Knoppix? Does the problem persist when you use Windoze? Are you overclocking? Did you fiddle with any voltages in BIOS? Does the problem go away if you use a different power supply? Do you have the latest BIOS? Have you tried an older BIOS? Does your BIOS or xsensors (or equivalent) report reasonable voltages? Do you have a replacement motherboard? Have you tried changing the update interval of your NTP daemon to a smaller value? What was the last thing you did before the problem started? Is the motherboard still under warranty? Are you competent to solder a new oscillator onto your motherboard?

Good luck!

My system clock is running extremely fast...
So, my questions are: (1) what would cause my clock to run so fast?  And
(2) why can't any ntp daemon keep correct time?
