There are 2 different internet clocks you can synchronize with - time.windows.com and one other (can`t remember the name).

Try the other.

Possibly the CMOS battery on your motherboard starting to fail.

Heh, where I used to work we had a server that would lose about 5 mins a day.

Amazing that a digital watch worth 1.99 from the garage kept better time than a 2 grand server.

One of the PC`s in my office has the same problem. When switched on, on Monday mornings the clock and date are showing the Friday before at 5:30 when it was switched off.

Could this be the internal clock as this PC has no internet access?

Like kywy said, probably the CMOS battery.
