See if your Movo manufacturer or Computer OEM has an updated BIOS.

'Bout time you purchased a NEW computer!

Actually this weird time thing is Motherboard specific, it is where your
hardware starts to count time from and this is currently set at a low level
(in the BIOS settings ). You can TRY to change this from safe mode in
Windows to see if it "sticks" if not you will need a BIOS update or a new
computer to resolve this issue.

Either that or your computer has traveled back in time and is now a sewing
loom. ; )
