System Clock Changes On It's Own

Hi Tim,

Is the BIOS time set correctly? If not, the system could be picking up the
wrong time at boot.

Yep, I inadvertantly checked that (BIOS Clock) when the system was crashing
last week, couldn't get it to Windows, kept going through the Boot, Re-Boot.
Somehow got it to stop and back to windows.

Yes, EST Time Zone and sync'd perfectly. Maybe it's my firewall blocking the
sync port I seemed to have read somewhere here. Thanks for your input
gentlemen!
