BIOS Time Clock not Keeping Correct Time or Date

Hello, I'm new to the forum and looks like a great community! My problem is with the system time clock not keeping correct time. I have a Sabertooth Z 87 MB and my system is 8 months old with a factory OC. I have never had a minutes problem with the clock until I cloned my HD to a larger GB HD because I was running out of GB space. The clone was successful, however, after the clone, next day I noticed the windows 7 64 bit clock was wrong. I went into the BIOS to check the system clock and it was wrong also. It was the same time as the windows clock. After reset the system clock the clock will run with correct time then both clocks, (system and Windows) after and hour of so start loosing time. I reset and same thing again. After a couple of days both show wrong time and the same date that I reset. Don't know if the cloning had anything to do with messing up the clocks, people I have talked to said their clone went fine with no clock problem. I have read the post here where some people had their clock freeze. My problem is just wrong time after an hour of reset? I have not tried anything with the BIOS or battery change. Though I would wait to here from more experienced people than me on this issue. I have done many things in Windows, advice from others but to no success. Any help on this issue will be appreciated.

Regards,

Hychewright.

Dose your time change after you shut down and reboot the PC? If so I say it's the cmos battery.

Hi Meankeys, thanks for the reply. When I reboot the system the time is still wrong until I reset time. After reset time it keeps for about an hour then it changes. It's weird, never had this problem. I really need my system because some games are tied to the system time.
