Ok, you wonderfully clever people, why is my PC clock running slow? It tells me that it is now 5:14pm. What a liar!
Whip it, whip it good!

When u update the time, does it start running slow again in a short space of time? If so, replace your CMOS battery

I dont update the time, I dont touch it. It changes itself at DST change and that is that. The computer is left on 24/7 most of the time. This happened a while back, I was going to ask then, but it regained the time and I thought all was sweet as. Today it is wrong again. This posted at 6:06 according the this porky telling beast.

have to agree with steve, your computer should update it's time from the internet, but if it's running slow, then the cmos battery is probably at fault.
you need a CR2032, its a 3v button battery and lives on the mother board, costs about $5.
be careful when you replace it tho ... it's easy to rip the socket off the board.

Apparently mine does not even keep time with the PC left on. The very lovely and wonderful Warlock has offered to come and administer some first aid to my old bomb of a PC.

I am the answer guy
click start
click run
in the black box type net time /set /y and press enter
that should sync the clock with the time server that's registered on the system.
Forum whore
Or you can just double click on the time in the system tray and manually set the time (and date)
Best Frenemy you could have!
Yeh, mom, if you're unsure about computers, please don't open it up. Rather let someone who knows that they are doing open it up and work on it.
The computer should update time automatically, from the internet, from time servers, but sometimes the machine may not be able to connect to them etc. As people have said, if its constantly out, then you may need to replace the battery. Yes, there is one, but its quite small.
I see Warlock has volunteered... have a vaccuum handy
