That's a common indication that the CMOS battery is dead.
If you open up the system and look around the motherboard, there should be a coin cell battery in a holder somewhere on the board. That battery keeps the BIOS powered and prevents it from losing it settings when the system is powered off. Test and replace that battery if it's dead.
This. I had a similar thing happen to a laptop, and it was indeed the CMOS battery.
Oh that's a small fix. Thanks for the help :)
