Computer clock keeps changing

My problem seems to be that Windoze is not picking the time up initially from the CMOS so then it sets itself as either or after rebooting. I know that when Windoze loads it hooks the time from the CMOS and starts then does a time sync with the time servers. I'm guessing there is a physical disconnect between the CMOS clock and Windows (all versions). I also ran HIRENS which also showed the incorrect date when it loaded it's mini-WinXP OS. I have stripped windows out and did a clean install I have changed Windows time sync to different servers If I reset the date/time in Windows everything works fine until next reboot when Windows loses the time/date settings again. The issue seems to be a disconnect between Windows and the BIOS. That did not help, the CMOS time works perfectly.

Of course I went to step #1 and put in a new CMOS battery. Windows 7 all of a sudden started having problems with date/time keeping.
