You may need to change the time in the BIOS, if the BIOS didn't hold the
changes then you may need a CMOS battery (do you the watch battery but
bigger), it is not expensive, you will need to open the case cover to install
on the Motherboard though!.

If the clock loses time while it's powered off, almost certainly the
problem is that you need to replace the battery on the motherboard.
