This is almost certainly a hardware problem. If it isn't a hardware
problem, it is at least not distribution specific. This doesn't really
belong in a Gentoo mailing list. That being said...
Some rhetorical questions (in no particular order):
Does the problem persist when you use Knoppix? Does the problem persist
when you use Windoze? Are you overclocking? Did you fiddle with any
voltages in BIOS? Does the problem go away if you use a different power
supply? Do you have the latest BIOS? Have you tried an older BIOS? Does
your BIOS or xsensors (or equivalent) report reasonable voltages? Do you
have a replacement motherboard? Have you tried changing the update
interval of your NTP daemon to a smaller value? What was the last thing
you did before the problem started? Is the motherboard still under
warranty? Are you competent to solder a new oscillator onto your
motherboard?
Good luck!

So, my questions are: (1) what would cause my clock to run so fast? And
(2) why can't any ntp daemon keep correct time?
