System Clock sluggish
Ever since i got this Acer Aspire 5611, almost two years back now, the
system time is usually off. When shut down, clock seems to shut down too. Also, when it is very busy, clock turns sluggish. Is this a known problem, or is my laptop bloody kaputt bloody ? What can I do, except calling in the plumber ? |

Does it maintain time while the machine is on? i.e. if you power the machine up and set the time, does it stay OK while you keep it powered up? If so, sounds like the "reserve battery" (aka backup/RTC battery) is U/S or not being recharged for some reason. If not, it suggests a RTC problem. |

I thought of that, but no, even when up it is slow, eratic too. |
