You may simply have a less accurate clock than other motherboards. They're comparable to a cheap wristwatch. Or it could be that the synchronisation routines on your installation aren't regularly poking into sync. > I gather none of the voltages displayed was the battery's voltage; I > could not find a battery state indication in any of the BIOS displays. If it was going to be anywhere, it'd be the same place as the other voltages. BIOSs often have some kind of "system health" page where various voltages, temperatures, and fan speed monitors show their results. They're usually all lumped together. > After the battery change was done, I checked the old battery with a > battery tester. It was well in the "green range". Probably okay. I'm never too trusting of those testers, though. For one thing, a battery needs to be tested under a load, but it's hard to make a simple tester that produces a suitable load for all batteries. Though at least you get some kind of indication between good and flat. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 (always current details of the computer that I'm writing this email on) Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
