I have a Asus Rampage III Formula which I purchased on 22nd October 2010 from Beach Audio and it has no problems but ever since I installed it the clock keeps losing time in the OS.
I have set the clock numerous times now and it consistently loses time. I have not measured the rate but it looks to be about 10 seconds every 10 minutes.
The time is fine in Linux, Windows XP & the Bios.
I have done the following to try & fix it :
My System specifications are :
The System is running Windows 7 Professional x64 Legit.
My DPC Latency is 4000-5000.
Onboard Audio is off.
My friend who also has a Asus Rampage III Formula searched google & found out I need to disable HPET to fix it but sadly the Bios does not have the option.
It's really disappointing to see a brand like Asus not including a basic option like HPET on a year 2010 Motherboard when even my 3yrs old DFI Lanparty UT P35 T2R has it. :(
Any help would be really appreciated.
