Time keeps changing

[markyboytheo]

I recently bought an SSD and installed Windows 7 on it. So it's completely free of all viruses. However, on the second HDD that I have, I had viruses and it was running Windows 8. I told Canada Computers about my problem, and they told me to format the drive, because it could be a virus. I haven't done that yet, because I'm still moving files over. So is it possible that a virus from that HDD is still affecting the time? If not, what's causing the issue?

Does it always change by the same amount? If so, ensure that it's set to the right time zone.

It keeps going backwards. Usually by half the speed of normal time.

Time zone is right. But I think it may be half fast. Because sometimes I notice that it will be 1 minute behind, then 2, then 4, but sometimes it's completely random, but always behind. Sometimes the date goes a day behind too!

I've changed the battery as well as formatting all my drives. No viruses, new battery but it keeps changing.

If you have replaced the battery, and the time is still losing over a day or two, the only options are to RMA the mobo, or change the frequency in which you update the internet time: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Time-Synchronization-Interval-in-Windows-7

Just make sure to make it 6 hours or longer - you can get banned from the server if you synchronize too often.
