What seems to be the issue with the countdown on your laptop, exactly?
Any difference if you try another browser?
Is your device's clock synchronized to an internet time server? For example, see here to check if your clock is fast or slow:

What problem are you having? What is the countdown doing that it should not? Or what is it not doing that it should?

If your time is correct within a second or two, it should be fine; that sounds like your laptop's time is synchronized with an internet time server. It is natural for the time to drift a small amount each day, but as long as it synchronizes on a regular schedule (as it does if you are using the "set time automatically" option in Windows, for instance) you should be all set.
If the auction timer is not counting down in the last twenty-four hours of an auction, try restarting your laptop. Sometimes a deferred system update can cause issues. After that, try a different browser -- preferably one that you do not normally use -- the latest possible version with no add-ons installed and default settings.
