Since building my PC 2 days ago the clock has always been running way too fast, a minute on the clock passes in a couple of seconds. This affects all Windows uses, double clicking is impossible and animated images cycle way too fast. I have searched online and this seems to be a common problem for users with Asus M4A785TD-V EVO motherboard, although I can not find a fix online. Have tried many suggestions - updating Bios, changing various settings, no luck so far. Does anyone have any idea of something I can try before getting the motherboard replaced? I really dont want to remove the processor and send motherboard back if I can avoid it. Thanks.
Do you have an NB parameter named something like 'SpreadSpectrum' in your BIOS? If so try toggling its current state. I had an MSI board once (well i still have it) that produced such a timing issue when SS was disabled and enabling it fixed it entirely...
