/sbin/hwclock --systohc not working

as the subject sdays my hardware clock seems to be 1 hour and 15 minutes slow. and for reasons beyond my knowlege the command to sync it with the OS clock (which is right) isnt working.

what is the response when you run it? ...is there an error?

no
it goes back to a prompt. as if it actually did do something, only it didnt.

you know this because `hwclock -r` shows the wrong time? ...or ?

perhaps your on-mobo battery is dead?

ok so hwclock -r says the right time. but the clock on the box front is still wrong. not that its very important but i fixed it with the systohc command before. and i dont know why its not. i figured because that was wrong all of the hardware was wrong as well

the clock on the box front???
what... does your machine also serve as a clock radio

...i suppose it is a fan/temp control... maybe it is just not keeping correct sync
