Why was time and date incorrect? If it's explainable then ignore the rest of this post .

Otherwise it could be that the button battery that helps the computer remember it's settings when it's unplugged, could be dying. If the battery gets too weak it will forget thetime and date and other settings in the bios such as processor speed. It will default to all the slowest settings available.

If you start having to fix the time and date everytime you boot up, this is probably the problem.
The batteries are only a couple of dollars and they are easy to replace.
If it is the battery just replacing it won't fix everything, you'll still have to go into the bios and reset everything.
