CMOS clocks have a back-up battery. Yours is having trouble. I have
had this problem once on a motherboard. They were using a weird
battery size so it was a pain to find a new one.
If you are lucky it may just be the connection to the battery,
i.e. the clip has lost some of its spring or some other mechanical
problem.
