This seems to be a problem with some older mobos - probably a Y2K issue. You might want to see if there's a BIOS update.
Otherwise the simplest fix - if you have it connected to broadband - is to install Atomic Clock to keep it syncronized.
If you're running XP it has a built in Internet clock sync.
