Resolution
This case was due to high rate of defective U18 (74LVT16373) chip on mother board as a result of some CPAS analysis. U18 failure caused not only time drift but system hang, audio test failure, ERR=22 messages or post error.

If other problem occur without time issue, need to replace system board.
