Most modern Motherboards have a small rechargeable battery on them that
hold enough power to keep the hardware clock set to the correct time,
when the system is powered off. It appears that your battery is
degrading and may need to be replaced. That may be a matter of simply
pluging in a new one or it may require surgery on the board. Consult you
user manual for the Motherboard or the systems builders tech support.
