    Okay I've had my envy for about 7 months now, no problems till about a day ago, the time on my laptop keeps changing it self regardless of what I do, the GMT is right and all but for some reason it ALWAYS changes it self and is off by about 4 hours and 3-5 minutes EVERYTIME, I've changed it 10 Freaking times today and it keeps changing it self back!

    What do I do?! it's pissing me off!

    Mine would set itself 2 hours ahead everytime and would keep changing like yours is when I had a custom bootloader. Did you mess with any of your boot settings?

    maybe try setting windows to a previous date? Like before this started happening and see if that fixes it.
