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!
