Hi Expert! Recently I find my computer time is not correct. Even though I changed the time from the control panel, it runs for an hour or so and goes back. Normally, my computer time is 6 miniutes faster than the standard time. How to permanently fix this problem? Thanks a lot!

Well, Windows can update it's time either using an external server or via a local time server if you are on a network (set under the 'Internet Time' tab in Date & Time Properties).

Try changing the time server Windows is using to sync the time.

I would try changing the time in the bios settings and then change it in windows if need be, it could be the bios and windows times are battling it out to which time to display.

Your CMOS battery could also be going bad and you might need to replace it.
