When you reboot is the time a) always a random time (example one time it's 4 hours ahead, nex time it's 3 hours 20 minutes slow) b) always off the same number of hours (example: always 5 hours too fast) c) always set to the same time (example: at boot the time is always noon) This may help in finding out the problem. If it's b then I would check your time zone setting. mcc/system/date and time/Time Zone button I'm not sure about a or c though I'm sure someone else might have some input.
