GA-7VAXP-A RTC slowdown problem
Hiya
Current spec: GA-7VAXP-A, Athlon 2500 (Barton) clocked to 2GHz, 512MB PC333, Asus GF3U, Win XP Pro. Problem: MOBO is about 5 months old and the RTC seems to keep losing time - around 1 minute an hour. I've changed the battery, tested the original as good. I'm reduced to updating the time at least every 24 hours from an NTP server and I'm starting to get annoyed. I only normally do that once a week. (Update, that is, not get annoyed. I get annoyed all the time when I'm @ work I've used the Gigabyte online form twice about this - the second time also to notify them that they hadn't replied to my first one. From what I've been reading on this NG, there's next to F all chance of getting any satisfaction there. I've not had this problem with any other board/system I've built (lost count) so I'm kinda stumped. Any suggestions as to whether this is the MOBO RTC, XP screwing around or anything I may have done in the OC dept.? Or should I throw this one out the window and go Athlon 64? The shop I bought the board from (under recommendation) is run by a 100.001% Intel man (who did the recommending) and he wasted no time in taking the **** out of my hardware - prompting me to only want to return the board there for the satisfaction of placing said item somewhere painful. He also suggested I'd get no joy outta Gigabyte due to their being bought by Asus - an event I find hard to believe. If any further info is required, reply to this & I'll add...
