Couple of things dude, you've put this in totally the wrong place, and turn your bloody caps lock off it's properly annoying.
Anyway, I've had a very similar problem, and it's down to a bad earth.

First off, please refrain from full caps, its considered shouting.
Check whether the plug connections at the back of the clocks are connected firmly.
You will need to remove the plastic surround to get at the clocks, three screws at the top of the surround.
Then remove the visible screws to take out the clocks.
Three plug connectors to check.
