While CMOS batteries usually last longer than two years, the loss of time and
date settings usually means that your battery is either dead or dying. Since
CMOS batteries are not expensive and it is a simple matter to replace them,
I'd suggest that you give that a try.

Have you noticed that any other BIOS settings require resetting? My experience
is that incorrect BIOS settings either don't allow the system to boot (and
that isn't your problem), or they show up in terms of reduced performance
(which you don't mention) but the system keeps on working (which yours
doesn't).
