Welcome to the forums :emotion-21:
What OS are you using?
More importantly... how long have you had the laptop, because those are typical symptoms of a weak/failing CMOS battery?
Whilst they only cost a couple of bucks to replace, you should contact tech support, and have them organise an engineer visit to do it for you - if the laptop is still under warranty, because it involves dismantling the laptop, to get at the battery.
