ACPI Timer

[luigi2000 0]

Is there someone reading this who knows for sure that the Power Management Clock updates the system time in a Windows 2000 ACPI uniprocessor PC?

 

Starting last week about every other day, the system time on my PC intermittently counts an extra one to nine seconds in a minute. The hardware real time clock display is correct on the main bios screen.

 

The only symptom of this problem I've noticed is that the QuickTime Sorenson decoder will play the audio stream out of synchronization. All the other decoders will playout ok.

 

I believe that this problem is heat related. The motherboard temp was 33C. The CPU temp was 57C.

 

Thanks,

Mark
