Normally with a clock problem I would say check the battery on the motherboard as it may need replacing. But that applies more to the clock resetting to the lowest possible date after being unplugged or having the power supply turned off. If I remember correctly, it shouldn't have any bearing on the clock when the PC is on.

And yes, System Restore is an EXCELLENT idea if the OP has it.

A new Windows install would probably fix the problem, though. And if you haven't done a clean install in a year or two, I'd advise it anyway. Make sure you back up any documents (pictures, videos, songs, text files, quicken or turbotax saved files etc.) that you don't want to lose. Anything you downloaded (music, pictures, porn, incriminating evidence, etc.) should fall into this category. If you have any games installed, you may want to download any patches for them. Install files for things like Firefox, Spybot, etc. would save lots of time too. And don't forget your bookmarks. Make a list of them or save them as an HTML file in Firefox. Burn everything to CDs or DVDs if you don't have an external hard drive. Don't even bother with floppys.
