Hmmm not sure but it could be the cmos battery, try a new one and change the time in the bios settings and make sure you save the settings before exiting, worth a try.

If your CMOS isn't retaining the setup values, you likely have a failed CMOS battery. Replace it, they're really cheap. Then it should store values again.

In the unlikely event that doesn't fix your problem, you'll probably need to look at replacing your motherboard if this issue is causing you grief.
