# Kevin Smith:
I'm having a problem with my system clock. The time will be fine for a few days, then all of a sudden, I will notice that it has jumped ahead by a number of hours (usually enough to change the day to the next day).
Does the number of hours vary or is it constant?
I'll check when it does it again. I recall it being +7 hours ahead.
I'm pretty sure that the "advanced" time stayed at PST (ie the time zone did not change). But I'll check again...
Any ideas on what could be wrong ? I also have ntpd running, which I used as an attempt to keep the clock set correctly (in effort to find a solution to the problem), but it does not appear to be able to handle correcting the time.
Could you check which timezone the "advanced" time is displayed
in? Sounds like some application assumes -say- UTC instead of PST.
btw, I did another experiment. I powered off the system for 12 hours and restarted it. The time was still correct, so I guess that rules out motherboard battery.
Obviously, even ntp couldn't fix that, since the time is actually valid (just not your current localtime).
It's just a shot in the dark, though.
HTH, Mario
