As some of you may know, I moved all my gear to a different room (with padded walls). The only problem is that my PC's system clock is running slightly faster than normal. It goes ahead about 1 hour every few hours.

I'd imagine the problem to come from a bad socket or something... any suggestions? (it's not a killer problem anyway)

System clock usually runs based on the little battery on your motherboard. You could try replacing that battery if it bothers you.

Padded walls eh. Is that for your own protection?

As for your clock running too fast, you could try getting it to smoke some pot :smile:
To be or not to be. What was the question?
