my suitemate keeps thinking it's like half an hour in the future because his computer's clock is like 15 minutes off.

we reset it this morning and it is off yet again-- it goes ahead about 2 minutes every hour.... what could be wrong?

Change the battery on the motherboard?

v6_accord_jerz

what kinda computer does he have?.....under date and time properties you can just click the "update now" button to synchronize the time with time.windows.com, if you have a pc instead of mac.....not sure how mac would be checked, oh check for the right time zones

Like Draconius said. His CR32 battery on the motherboard is dying.

You might have too many processes or applications running.

Does he play alot of video games, or have alot of games on his computer?

Alot of computer games, get the system time a wrong way, which will change the system time a little at a time.
