Clock slowing down
- Thread starter cheerful
- Start date
The usual cause is that the CMOS battery is dying and should be replaced. This does more than control time. When the computer is unplugged (desktop) it maintains the settings.

Isn't there a system timer setting in some BIOSes? It affects the timer interrupt somehow. I don't have it in mine, but I have seen it.
Maybe the new BIOS set it to a default that isn't using the timer properly?
Just a guess...
