We have the same issue on our Raq3's. We had a cobalt engineer looking into
it, they created a script that would try to fix the drift. It never really
worked. He had suggested we change the battery. We did that and one of the
boxes started behaving. The next comment from him was not so great, he
stated there is a bug on the bios on the raq3 that is part of the problem.
Sorry not much help. We just make sure we fix the drift ASAP after reboots.
