Cmos battery or power supply?
|
|
|
| I have a friend's computer, P188mHz( I think over clocked)
when I power it after 30min or 1 hour the clock goes ahead/fast
I know of a clock running late but not running fast.
Has any one encountered this problem?
Is it cmos battery or is it power suply problem
and if cmos any help on how to change it safely without cleaning the bios?
| |
|
| I had a p166 that I dual booted - Clock was slow in Win98, fast in =
Windows2000.
Computer clocks are notoriously bad.=20
Less than a minute a day is no real problem, but I keep mine well =
synchronized anyway with atomic clocks using Dimension 4.

| you mentioned overclocking, didn't you...
I doubt he'd prefer having the clocking reduced, so synchronizing with =
atomic clocks every hour might be best
