Clock "slows down", yet is able to manually sync correctly
Hello!
Windows clock somehow manages to get out of sync even when the computer is up and running. For example, I now synced the clock and it went from about 12:17 to 14:05! Usually the difference is not so big, about 5-10 minutes. It also happens when I've set the time manually. And when I shut the computer down or put it to sleep, it resumes correctly (not entirely sure though as the time is constantly showing wrong results). When manually switching off the automatic sync and then turning it back on, the system receives the correct time from time.windows.com. Yet it isn't able to sync itself correctly automatically.
The motherboard is now about six years old - it feels that I might have to change its battery. Should I go forward with that or could the problem lie elsewhere?
Edit: During posting this question (about 10 minutes), the system lost 3 minutes! This forum showed the correct time, my system did not.
