Sounds like the internal battery has ran low. You can change the battery on the mother of all boards and reset the PRAM:

(assuming your machines about 5 years old - your right on the nose of a battery drop)

Replacing the internal battery would be the first thing to try. If that doesn't work, here is a thread that looks very similar to your problem.
