Some may recall I have posted about similar issues in the past. Heck, I |
| 35 |
still do when I upgrade the drivers. I'm stuck using a older driver but |

still run into the issue every once in a while. |

The biggest giveaway for me is that my clock is stuck. I have mine set |
| 39 |
to show seconds and it either stops or the time sort of jumps several |
| 40 |
seconds at a time. |

It's weird but as Alan said, it is not just you. You got plenty of |
| 43 |
company on this one. |
