re clock problem.
If the problem occurs when booting another operating system, it certainly sounds
like a hardware problem.

As far as I am aware the ultimate source of the system clock is an oscillator
on the motherboard, which 'drives' both the CPU and the various system buses.
If that oscillator decides to go slow then everything else will as well I guess.

Is the PC still under warranty?
If so, maybe try loading Windows on it and if the clock then is still adrift,
request they replace it !!
