I dont wanna jinx it, but i think clearing the CMOS fixed the issue.

As you see in this photo, the time is actually 12:55 mid day. But my PC thinks its 03:12 at night. Ive tried the "sync now" time option, it only fixes the clock for about 1hour, then it falls back again. 

 

It seems like my windows clock has stopped working. I dont know how to fix it.

mmmk, double check your router and make sure your time is set there and has an NTP server to sync to set.
