Hey it is possible that your cmos battery is slowly dying off so you should do this, download the newest Bios revision for your motherboard and flash the Bios and see whether it corrects this problem and if it doesn't,go ahead and replace you Cmos battery( Please go into your Bios setting before you start anything and copy down the settings or print them out just in case something goes wrong). I hope this solves your problem

DON'T FLASH YOUR BIOS.. from what you told us... I don't believe you have the skills for this...and you can loose your entire computer if you grab the wrong file. Just get a new CMOS battery that is the only battery in your machine. It may look like a BARREL and it may be soldered onto your board. If so, there may be a PLUG that accepts the older style add-on battery packs. If you don't have a clue on this, get yourself some help. Not a hard thing..and batteries are cheap...but, if you do the wront thing... YOUR DONE! For good.
