Maybe yes, maybe no. Your motherboard battery could need replacing or your cmos settings may need to be fixed. That'll simulate real well a broken debian installation. I've had some of those problems lately but then again I have a source of refurbished computers and some of these aren't always 100% perfect. You could try the mini-beep.iso, but first check the cmos and the date and time without setting it in the cmos against current date and time. That mini-beep.iso runs real fast! I have speech start and 22 seconds later I'm at a log in prompt once I've turned speech off temporarily.
