It would help a lot if we had the exact error message. But I suspect that you have a bad motherboard battery.

That means it's time to replace your CMOS battery. Normally, CMOS battery last 7 years or so, and when it dies out, the information in the BIOS will not be saved so its normal for your time to stay at 1980 12:00AM. Until you replace it with a new battery, it doesn't matter what you do with it, you still get the same result.

I had the same thing happen after Y2K with my now-dead Pentium 1. But, it didn't keep getting reset.
