[tlug] [OT] Hardware problem ? Clock advances very fast (Modem lights blink very rapidly

["Sanjay Chigurupati" <Sanjay.Chigurupati@example.com>]

Hi,
I got a new machine 2 months ago and sometimes in Windows 98 SE, the system
clock advances very fast. It covers like 15-20 minutes in 10 minutes. If I
am connected to the net, modem lights blink very fast. The cursor also
blinks very fast.
Dont remember seeing anything like that in Linux. This is an Asus
motherboard .

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thx,
