This sounds like the clock (for date/time) is not functioning, or the CMOS
battery is bad. That's a motherboard problem. Replace the CMOS battery
(usually a coin cell or off-board plug-in battery). If that doesn't help,
your motherboard has a problem. Another possibility is the CMOS memory
chips going bad although this is less likely.
