Do you have the correct time zone selected?

There's also the possibility of a dead BIOS battery.

The time zone is the best bet. It could be synchronizing with a server in another time zone. I'm here in Central time and by default Windows sets up with Pacific time. I cannot tell you how many people have called me to ask why the clock keeps reseting itself 2 hours off.
