In some computers, the clock is bypassed during specific assembly language routines. While these routines are being executed, the counter for the clock is suspended. It is more important the clock cycles be write for the subroutine, than for t the computer. In earlier computers, the processors ran much slower, and resetting your clock for you IBM XT or AT was something you did on a regular basis. Since the microprocessors have been sped up, the error is not as noticeable as it once was.
Clocks in computers are usually crtystal clocks. The temperature of the crystal will have an error on the time. In warmer temperatures, you loose time and in colder temperatures you gain time.

Mine did that for a while until I did a really thorough virus sweep. I think, for some reason, I had a bug that messed up the time. Try running some spy sweepers. Good luck (I know how annoying it can be).

Change the battery on the mother board, it could be that it is dead and is not holding the time after the computer is turned off
