Clock counting way too fast...

This is a very strange problem. My clock is counting the at about 3x normal speed. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I might have to take my chances at removing the wireless card and sending it back to acer.

 

Is that only under OS X?
I don't know how the clock is being calculated, but try pressing f8 at boot and type FSB=133

 

that's a strange problem, it could be hackinstosh related, but it could also be motherboard related.. have you flashed the BIOS before on the machine? When i downgraded my bios, it screwed with my internal clock too (albeit on linux) - error msg kept saying it wasn't able to read it properly. hopefully it's not as serious

 

yes I did flash the bios with version 3304 when I got the bricking symptoms. That was at least a month ago and the problem just started yesterday. I'm going to try your boot suggestion, and update to the latest bios. I timed it and one minute "mac time" is 37 seconds real time. I'm going to test on windows later too.

 

i'd try it with a live system of some sort or if you have windows on another partition then with that... only way to really tell if its software or hardware

 

Ok, well I figured out what was causing it. A few weeks ago, I installed the voodoo beta kernel. That was causing the issue. I reverted back to the default 9.2.0 kernel included in the iAtkos V4i install and everything is fine. It must've been messed up since then and I just didn't notice. Weird.
