      I thought at first it was because of the local/utc issue but that should only be a few hours (2), anyway i did steps to create the localtime file (was not there originally) and then adjkerntz -i, restarted, changed bios clock to correct time and still nothing. board is biostar, had this problem with ecs as well.

      any help is greatly appreciated.

        Have you tried using a geographic named time zone instead of 'utc'?

        Usually when people have a problem with the time being off it's because of the selected time zone behaving in an unexpected manner. Usually it's the GMT offset zones people have issues with though.

            Sorry for the bump, but did you try replacing the battery on the motherboard?
