After you correct your time and date, do you then click on Apply and then OK to exit, or do you just click on ok? If you don't click Apply and then Ok, it won't work properly.
The other thing is, after doing that, try a Restart.
I've found that that is the best way to make ANY changes.

Is it possible your battery is low on power?
Most computers have a small battery. In many cases, the battery is soldered directly onto the motherboard, but the battery is usually in some sort of holder so it is easy to replace. Computers are not the only things that have a small battery like this -- camcorders and digital cameras often have them, too. Just about any gadget that keeps track of the time will have a battery.
In your computer (as well as other gadgets), the battery powers a chip called the Real Time Clock (RTC) chip. The RTC is essentially a quartz watch that runs all the time, whether or not the computer has power. The battery powers this clock. When the computer boots up, part of the process is to query the RTC to get the correct time and date. A little quartz clock like this might run for five to seven years off of a small battery. Then it is time to replace the battery.

Your BIOS battery needs changing, this is a sure sign that is what it is. The BIOS is where the information is stored even when your PC is turned off. So if your clock stays at the right time while your PC is switched on and when you do a reboot the clock is wrong that can only be one thing you got it the BIOS is not holding the information because there is no battery power to do it. So simply change your battery and reset your clock that should fix the problem. PC MAN.

if you did all the things the others have told you and it still hasn't fixed the problem some older mother boards have a battery on them for that purpose the newer ones as long as there plugged in it doesn't matter if the computer is on or not the mother board always receives power. any how check your mother board to see if there is a nickel battery on board and change it. Good Luck

Make sure that after you change it you are saving the changes. You may have to click on a button that says save, apply, or OK. It depends on the computer what it says.
