F10: PC clock lacking behind with 20 minutes

[Rui Li]

I think the first thing to do is make sure the bios batter is still working.
Turn on the computer, go to bios, correct the time, then turn off computer.
Next day, turn on the computer, get in bios again and see if the time is
correct.

NTP doesn't seem to be the problem here. Leaving the system running for a
while
it reached the 20min offset. Now I'll try one last thing to rule out if the
motherboard battery is at fault. I'll set the BIOS time to the correct
value,
reboot and leave the PC at the BIOS settings screen, i.e. no interaction
with
the OS and see what happens after several hours.
