Thanks for the fix Sardonicus, still kind of curious/worried about what the is actually causing the time of desync in the first place though.
Also, would setting the repeat to 5 minutes hurt system preformance/ cause stress on my internet connection?
Also, HWINFO did not download AVG nor babylon onto my computer, and I didn't receive any sort of prompt to allow HWINFO to add the programs either.
Well I didn't make the story up. It did it to my computer. That why I gave the warning. I'm glad your problem is fixed. Happy computing.
It shouldn't. Synchronization should be instantaneous, a few second, if that.
I changed the HWINFO link to the home page.
I downloaded from the Primary USA link, with no problem or added stuff.
Those other links......users should download from them, using their own discretion. :)
This time I waited kept an eye on the clock before it reset, and it looks like it reverts back almost exactly 1 hour from the last time reset.
2 very strange things happened, when I restarted my computer today, I went to taskschd.msc, to check on SynchronizeTime, and found that it was completely gone from Active tasks. Upon going to services in task manager, I could see that W32 time was running however.
Took another look at EventViewer, and saw, "application popup" had failed 15 times in the past 7 days, and also has the same PID as W32Time when viewing services.
Does this mean that W32 time is crashing, causing my time to reset?
I should also note that the BIOS time is the same as the time shown in windows, and it increments time fine until it reverts to a previous time.
EDIT: Accidentally mistook event ID as PID in event viewer(both 1060). Not 100% sure if they are unrelated though. Also was able to get SynchronizeTime back in taskschd by unregistering and re-registering Time Service.

Thanks for the huge amount of help guys!
I did manage to stumble across the solution!!
To fix it, I stopped windows time service, unregistered it, re-registered it, restarted the service, then synced the times.
Thanks again to all the people who posted :)
