I'm sure that synchronizining will help, but there might be something else wrong, just so you are aware of it. on the other hand I may be wrong...
A failed motherboard battery would cause the CMOS settings to be lost each time the PC was turned off. This would not only cause the clock to reset to the mobo`s default settings but, depending on the type of mobo, could even cause the CPU to default to failsafe settings.
As a first step I would follow KebabMeisters advice and if that does not cure the problem, then look into hardware problems.
As regards Will423`s advice, most atomic clock free downloads include spyware.
