My time is going off all the time since a few weeks. Not sure when it
started, but I now need to do a netdate every 4 hours and the time
difference is between 1 or 2 seconds up to 5 minutes.

Anybody an idea what might be causing this?

I had a similar problem. What fixed it was to set the BIOS clock to a
slightly different time, boot Linux. Reboot and set the BIOS to the proper
time and then use the time feature in OpenSuse to set it to the same time.
I don't know why that fixed the problem.

Will try that.

If your clock is slow, you might change the backup battery on the
motherboard.

The PC is not turned off, so the battery could not be there, for all I
care.
