The problem might also be in your clock battery.  Solid-state clocks
tend to speed up as the battery dies, until they stop all together.

Try replacing it.  A Ray-o-vac computer battery costs about $9 at 
trade shows.  Mine has gone about 2 years without a problem.  Before,
when I was using lithium watch cells, the clock would run away from
me all the time.
