Help!!! I have suddenly started to get cyclic time changes, about every
2 seconds, sometimes accompanied by video blanking, and usually a hard
lockup. This is occurring in 8.1, and also RH 7.2 and Libranet
(multiple boot machine, along with Win98SE), but Windows is not
affected. What should I be looking for? It seems obviously to be a
hardware problem, but what? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Try
watch hwclock --show
in a console or even
watch 'hwclock --show timefile'
And then interrupt after about a minute and check timefile or send it here.
Give LILO an esc and a (linuxbootname) 3
to come up in console mode.
If it is your hardware clock, KDE will go crazy. I have seen it happen
when I changed time zones and KDE blanked andf flickered and finally
stabilized, but any change in hardware clock seems to trigger problems.
