F10: PC clock lacking behind with 20 minutes

[Leslie Satenstein]

The PC settings are usually stored in the clock chip. If the battery is run down, then the bios settings would be lost and the system would not boot.

The problem is elsewhere. Perhaps the system is used for dual boot.,

Silly question, but could your motherboard battery be run down? It's
hard to see how an ntp problem could give you clock drift of 20
minutes in only a day.
