Re: [XP Pro] Time running fast (randomly) (long)
Problem fixed by buying a new power supply and w/ more watts; had a generic 300W, installed an Antec 380W. Not only does the clock not run fast anymore but one of my CD drives thought to be going out now works fine. |

I was thinking a clean install ruled out software, but the PSU was going to be low on the list of possible causes. |
