time & date does not stay set

[Mario]

Recently, my time and date setting are always falling
behind. Today, August 27th, 09:00AM, my system is showing
August 24th, 7:15 PM. I used to keep my system running
for weeks but lately, it's crashing often and I shut down
when I'm not using the computer.

Most likely a battery problem: (let it be) checked and changed

Does it keep accurate time when the computer is turned on? Or is it only
when its turned off that it loses time? If the latter, then you need to
replace the battery on your motherboard.
