The BIOS of your computer's motherboard has a "real time clock", but like any clock, if there's no power getting to it, the clock resets. Computer motherboards have a BIOS that are powered by a battery when the computer is off. If this battery dies, the BIOS resets to default values and will not hold time and date information. It sounds like it's time for you to replace the battery on your motherboard.

Why your computer's date always change back to 2005 when you turn it on after you reset it and turn it off?
Most times when the time never stays set after powering off one's computer, is an indication that the "CMOS" battery needs to be change. The "CMOS" battery is the little flat silver disc on your computer's mainboard that is responsible for storing all the settings including time and date. Note: Chances are though that when this battery goes out other settings will change back to default on your mainboard. Unless you are experienced with how to set your computer's settings, it would be advisable to let someone that is familiar with such things handle that for you.
How do you get a computer out of power save mode when computer screen is black?
When you cannot get a computer out of "power save mode", the culprit usually is an empty battery on the motherboard of your computer. Typically, this happens on a computer which is a few years old, since its batteries will have run out after such a long time. The motherboard battery is used to store various settings, such as date and time, when the mains power is off. When your computer detects an empty battery, it goes into a low-power mode. The computer will then display as message, like "Power save mode - press any key on keyboard or move mouse". However, in certain circumstances, doing so does nothing. The solution is to replace the button-cell battery on the motherboard of your computer: * open the case of your computer; * visually locate the motherboard (the main electronic circuit board) of your computer; * visually scan the motherboard for a button-cell battery (it looks like a digital watch battery, but a bit larger); * remove this motherboard battery from your computer; * restart your computer: it should now power up normally (you may get some warning messages during the start-up sequence, but ignore them); * set the date and time of your computer using the "Date and Time" control panel; * you can now use your computer normally, but you will lose date and time settings when you disconnect the computer power cord, since there is no motherboard battery present to store them; * take the motherboard battery to an electronics store and get a replacement; * install the new battery in your computer; * restart your computer, and set the date and time again; the settings will now be saved using motherboard battery power.
