RTC running too fast on A7N8X-E Deluxe

Hello everyone,

The Real Time Clock on our A7N8X-E Deluxe with Athlon 2600+ is gaining
approx. 1 MINUTE per day. The time corrects itself everytime the PC is
rebooted. OS=W2KServer.
What could be the reason ? Any pointers deeply appreciated.

First of all disable "FSB spread spectrum" in BIOS.

Read here as well. This problem haunts Asus' nforce2-boards, and you're not
even affected much.
