Explanation

A faulty power supply could lead to intermittent server shutdowns or failure to remain operational. This could explain why the server is frequently going offline after the power outage. A CMOS battery failure would cause the server to lose its BIOS settings, including date and time configurations, whenever it loses power. This would explain the incorrect date and time observed when the server is back online.
