Very odd, I started syching my computer with WorldTimeServer and every day, my computer needs to be adjusted by at least 8 seconds, so if I leave it for a week, it can lose several minutes.
This is an MST266 motherboard with an AMD Athlon 2100+ chip.
Thanks!

I would more tend to think it has something to do with the accuracy of the motherboard's clock and was wondering if there was any way to adjust it.

Hi!
There seem to be a hardware issue... the system clock works... around the clock, even if the machine is turned off. If, for some unknown reason, the frequency of the clock oscillator is changed then... the timing circuit works accordingly. There is nothing you can do about it, or, at least nothing I've heard of. My sys looses 2-3 secs each day. Until my sys battery died. Perhaps, if you replace the battery with a newer one, the sys Will loose less time... maybe :)
If that doesn't work... try setting the clock 5 mins ahead, every once in a while :).
Good luck!

How old is the computer? A MST266 sounds like it's at least a few years. In any case, the motherboard battery may be on its last leg. You could try replacing the battery.
Is it possible that you have two time-synchronizers on your computer? Perhaps they are trying to sync the computer to two different standards.

Forget it, this is quite normal.
One second per day is an accuracy of 0.00116 percent. My wristwatch is accurate to better than 100 milliseconds per day, it's quartz and cost way more than your motherboard.
The precision of the Time Of Year clock has nothing to do with the state of the lithium battery on the motherboard, unless the effect is rapidly worsening.

Mine runs fast. Has for the 7+ years that I've had it. I guess it averages out.
I've also got one digital clock that runs fast. The others keep time well, so I guess it's not a problem with the AC frequency. I guess it's a case of 'close enough for government work'.

For me a poem has to have rhythm. It would not inevitably could desire to rhyme even though it desires to hit my emotions. i think of readability of expression is considerable as properly. i do no longer decide for to 2d wager what i'm analyzing approximately. I continually seem for what I term "poetic gemstones"interior the text fabric.

Motherboard has a battery might be going. Check you time zone too.

If you can handle the radioactivity, you could try a cesium-atom clock. :-) They are accurate to within 1 second over 1.4 million years.

sounds like you will need to replace the battery on the motherboard

That's almost impossible.
I think you have a hardware problem.
Please consult a local professional.

Your CMOS battery is dying. Replace it.
