The "clock bug"

Having some problems with Windows losing time, about 12.5 seconds every hour. Thought that it was the internal battery that was about to quit so Dell changed it for me, including the entire palmrest.
 
But the problem is still the same, every hour my syncronization program adjusts the time about 12.5 seconds. Anyone know what it is that causes this?
 
I have a Precision M50, running Windows 2000.

    Thomas,

    Suffering the same problem, did you ever find a solution?  Thanks.

    It’s a mystery to me as well; it continues to occur even on the new WS 670. Dell is unable to provide a satisfactory reason for this lack of time synchronization, so I decided to disable the time service in Windows and include Atomic Clock as a task to periodically synchronize the time on the Internet.
