Unfortunately ntp will not always help in these situations, because
the time is changing too quickly/slowly to keep up with.  The OP
should check whether changing the kern.timecounter.hardware sysctl to
one of the other values listed in kern.timecounter.choice will fix the
problem (they are ranked in order of quality).  Also look for a BIOS
update for your system - that may fix it.
