problem with date

[John L Fjellstad]

Has anyone had problems with the date being set incorrectly lately?
Starting Monday, my system has been weird when it comes to date. On
Monday, my system date was suddenly set to the year 2022, today morning,
it was set to April 2006

As you can see, I went to bed around 00:40 yesterday, turned off my
system, and when I woke up this morning, and turned on my system, the
date was suddenly set a month behind.

This is a new laptop, so I don't *think* it's the BIOS battery.
