Have you tried changing out your CMOS battery? Losing time is a tell-tale sign that it's going out.

Should be as simple as opening the case and popping the old one out with a small screwdriver and putting the replacment back in.

If it's soldered in place, you should have a jumper somewhere near it for an additional batter. (This is kinda old technology but may still be around in some of the newer boxes)
