HI to me it sounds like u have a built on battery. on every mother board u have a battery that is how it keeps time date and settings. and there are a few posibilities to this that i know of, one thing u can do is reset the cmos and see if that works,u can make a post where i think it was nick said, or u can try to flash the cmos and hope that u have the right flash and it works and your flash chip doesn't get messed. (highly recommend that u dont try to flash)
GOOD LUCK! hope i was some help
