Most likely to be your BIOS battery mate, replace that and it should be ok. You can always test it by going into your BIOS setting your date/time etc there and then power off the machine and leave it off for a few minutes and repeat the task, see if the BIOS date is wrong.. if so, then a new battery will likely fix it...
