You need to check the MB's battery.

some computers are notorious for losing time quickly. that's why in Windows XP, they have a time synchronization feature. Double click on your clock, and click on the "internet time" tab.

You might want to do a registry tweak so that instead of updating once a week, it updates once an hour, or something like that.

Then again, it could be your cmos/bios battery...you might need to replace it
