What make the laptop advance it's system time?

[paulcheung]

I have this Toshiba laptop, The system time keep going too fast. I have reset it many times and it keeping going fast. if it go slow I would say the battery dying, what can cause that. a virus? or is something else?
Thanks.

Are we talking the minutes or the hours? If it is your minutes going to fast then I would say a infection which you should run your anti virus and then the free trial from Malwarebytes. If it is only your hours check what the time zone is set at.

Is it only in Windows or in BIOS as well?

Did not check the bios, but in the right bottom of the screen where windows put it's time. it is hours fast. like 3 hours and minutes fast.

Are you dual-booting Windows with Linux?

Check your time zone and have windows sync the time with a time server.

Check how is it in the BIOS, it will tell us right away if it's a hardware or a software issue.

I have seen this numerous times, like said above by john check your time zone and ensure a MS server sync.

This is also an issue with Windows 8 that has been fixed in 8.1
