Like the other responses say, good chance battery is weak. Does not have to be dead. Possibly slight corrosion on contacts. Check other connections.

Look in Date/Time CP ... "use a Network Time Server", is it check-marked ?? If so click "server options...", In next dialog box, is "automatically, when the system clock, blah, blah" check-marked ?? If so, that's why the clock corrects ... Suggestion; Radio Shack or an electronic store for new battery, easy install. (Check date on battery when purchasing). You can always take it back ... Good fortune ...
