Weird PC Clock Behavior?

cybercyst asks: "I've been having a problem with this for quite some time, and thought it was just me -- until two good friends of mine experienced the same problem. What we are experiencing is best described as a time-skew: our system time is apparently jumping forward an hour, and then returning to normal. It repeats this multiple times, and as far as I can tell only a reboot is any sort of remedy for this, albeit a temporary one. As you can imagine this causes all sorts of problems (under windows managers xscreensaver is always popping up -- in fact as I wrote this, the screensaver has come on over 10 times, negative fps in OpenGL programs, extremely large ping times, and so forth)."

"Friend A runs an Athlon system on a Soyo Dragon motherboard, I'm running a K6-2 450Mhz CPU on an older Epox motherboard. We are both running Slackware 8.0 with kernel 2.4.17, but Friend B runs nothing but Red Hat, and kernel 2.4.2-2.

I have personally tried many things to get this fixed permanently, including setting the time with 'date -s; hwclock --hctosys; hwclock --systohc' the BIOS is set to the right time that doesn't seems to help! So, I'm asking Slashdot, Has anyone out there encountered a similar problem, and if they have, have you been able to fix it?"
