System clock losing time randomly during use

[Fortuitous]

For the past few weeks my system time keeps randomly resetting back a bit. Usually this is an hour+, I don't always notice it when it happens, but it happens multiple times a day. This happens mid use and when the computer is booted up. The computer is about 2 years old, and run pretty hard, but in good condition overall.

I went ahead and replaced the CMOS battery since it's such a cheap thing to test anyway, and it has had no affect on the problem. I've double and quadruple checked my settings - time zone is correct, I've had time set to set automatically, and I've tried it with that unchecked. I've set my internet time settings to synchronize with different servers. I've checked for Malware and Viruses.

At this point, this is just driving me nuts. I'm used to being able to look at my computer clock and know what time it is. Can I get any help?

last time I saw this was on a laptop. I replace the cmos battery as well and the issue did not go away. It ended up being a problem with the mainboard so I chucked it.

Win 10 has time problems with some, not all, setups.

I usually disable Windows Time in Services for most problems.

Some people are very skittish about disabling anything, so I just set it to Manual, it doesn't start, and they don't know the difference.
