Have you tried to replace your CMOS battery with all that things. I know it maybe BIOS and some other things, but that is usually something like that and that's it for sure. I do not get all this advices anyway for sure. Please do understand all that.
My laptop's clock takes a vacation twice a year

Funny this thread coming up because the laptop just came back from its vacation.
It doesn't matter because after the "vacation time" everything works as before for the next 6 months. And here is the best part. I am using the second exactly same laptop and it has the exact same problem!

If it is Windows, just make sure it is syncing with the atomic clock in Colorado each day.
It is so much behind it needs to be synced in every 5 minutes. But its vacation is only temporary.
They are a good temporary work around, I think I used one of these. Still doesn't fix the underlying problem.
That is unusual. Hrmm. I would guess it is what the others say. The CMOS battery is prolly' shot. To replace that on a laptop these days would be a big challenge.
True. I opened it up and I couldn't find the damn thing! But again, this happened with 2 laptops. (same brand and type)
It is most likely a tiny button soldered onto the motherboard.
