Your clock battery may need to be changed. On the motherboard, there's usually a small, long-lasting battery that powers the system clock. Depending on your computer, you may be able to just pop it out and replace it, or you may have to take it to a technician to have it desoldered.

Quite possibly the little internal battery is weak. If this is the case, and it's not fixed soon, the battery will fail and your computer will lose the BIOS settings causing more problems.
Have someone check and replace the battery. If that's what it is, it's fairly simple to do and cheap. The battery, something like a CR2023, costs about $5 or less, and snaps in place on the motherboard. If you do it yourself, BE SURE to be grounded when working inside the computer. Even a small amount of static electricity can fry parts inside there.

If you have an older computer, it still uses a CMOS clock that keeps time using its own internal clock, which runs on an internal rechargeable battery. If you have a computer built after XP came out, you have the option to set the clock to update itself using an online clock that links to the atomic clock the US Department of Weights and Measures uses to keep the country's official time.

THE PROBLEM is NOT CMOST BATTERY !!!!!!
the user "MarG" is right, double click on your lower right corner on time and go to both "time zone and "internet time and uncheck the checkboxes.
now the ONLY way for the problem to be with the CMOS is if the time keep reseting to 12:00, in the bios or when windows start.
other than that, its not the CMOS. good luck

Many computers lose time slowly. If you have constant internet connection, you can set your time to sync with the official time.

Make sure that your time zone is set to the correct one for where you live.
