I reset the CMOS but no difference.

[ 4276.865023] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU3: Marking 
clocksource 'tsc' as unstable because the skew is too large:
[ 4276.865027] clocksource:                       'hpet' wd_now: 
e559648a wd_last: 30656759 mask: ffffffff
[ 4276.865037] clocksource:                       'tsc' cs_now: 
a42bfbbea74 cs_last: 9f8e57ce8e2 mask: ffffffffffffffff
[ 4276.870912] clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet

It took a while I guess, more than an hour?

All I can do is replace the battery, otherwise this mobo is not fit for 
Linux.

It's incredible.

I shall not say how many mobos I have recently tried and there was an 
issue with every one of them.

This Mobo does not stably support my 2.1V 1066 memory even though it 
should. I mean, oops, it only does 1.95V.

The other one that I threw away...

Anyway.

The only good mobo was the original one I had that got... wasted for 
some reason.

I have had a:

Abit AX78
Asus M2N-E SLI
Asus M2N-E
Asus M3N-something
Asrock something.

I wish I still had the M3N.

I agreed to trade it with someone and what I got in return was shit.

I wanted to humour the guy and in return he basically treated me like 
shit.

Never do stuff for another person.

Everyone will betray you.
