    I'm having a ridiculously weird and frustrating issue running Windows 8 x64 (RTM) on my Envy 14t-1000.

    The first time I noticed this issue was when I ran the Consumer Preview build of Windows 8 earlier in the year. I noticed that my clock would drift off-sync, usually by at least a few hours, often more than a day (it always drifted backwards in time). I would sync it using "Internet Time" in Time & Date options but it would soon become off again in a matter of a few minutes.

    Thinking it was a dead CMOS battery, I unplugged the battery and checked it, but it read full voltage. I then did a clean install Windows 7, zero issues whatsoever. Ran that for a few months.

    I recently did a clean install of the final build of Windows 8. The exact same thing is now happening.

    Anyone else experience this? Is there some particular driver I need to install? A permanent incompatibility with Windows 8 on this machine?

    Sorry to bump this, but I'm really hoping for some kind of resolution or insight.
