    I am not aware of your level of computer expertise, so please excuse this if you already know it/have done it.

    Bottom RH side of Taskbar, where your clock resides - RIGHT click the time. Click <Adjust Date & Time> - look for < Date & Time> - <Time Zone> - make sure you have the right Time Zone set, use <Change Date & Time> if not.

    You can also set it to Internet Time, look for the tab <internet Time> and set that.

    If that does not help, or you already know or have done this, I hope someone else can help. Is your Win7 installation a new one? Sometimes it is easy to set the wrong time at Setup.

    If you know the time was set correctly but does not stay set I would suggest replacing the motherboard bios battery. You motherboard manual should have instruction.
    Then reset the time in your bios and in Windows 7.

    Layback Bear is right, your symptoms show a possible battery going out
