I think it start at zero, when your start-up your computer.
It wouldnt be likely to reach zero. If would be simerlar to the Y2K problem,
however only fixable with new hardware.. (64 bit chips instead of 32 bit
would double its time scope)

But even then, I dont think you would be capable of running your computer
for that long.
At least not when you have windows running  and if did occur, you would
be braking a record I think. (the longest up-time of win95
