One thing you might try is resetting the time service:
1. Start->Run cmd.exe
2. net stop w32time
3. w32tm.exe /unregister
4. w32tm.exe /register
5. net start w32time

If you get an error, you may have to temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus - just be sure to turn it back on!

Alternatively, it could be a hardware thing. I had some weird time issues and it was just the cmos battery going bad. Replaced it and all was well. But mine was really erratic - sometimes fast, sometimes slow and by different amounts of time. So yours might be something else.

Good luck!
