old computer?

i'd try changing out the battery on the mother board, take it out, and go buy the same kind at some store, most carry them, it's just a watch battery, less than 5 bucks probably.

If you are on a network, the server may have the wrong time and is resetting your clock. Change properties in the client to not auto adjust time or set server time correctly if you have access rights to server.

The time of the computer is same as the motherboard, when the battery on the mother is not fully charged, then your time become slower.

What you should do:
1. Open your computer for a longer time i.e 10 hours. Then the battery maybe re-charged.
2. Change the battery of the motherboard. Then the clock on the motherboard will become accurate.
