the solution to this depends on what the clock is changing to when you turn it on. if it's going back to midnight, december 31, 1969 or something crazy like that, you possibly could have a dead CMOS battery. this battery keeps a tiny amount of memory active in order to maintain configuration data about your computer, including the clock. another possibility is that you have a virus that is resetting your clock. yet another possibility is that your computer is automatically adjusting its time from a time server on the internet. check to make sure that your time zone is set correctly.
