The hardware clock is read when the system boots, and updated when
the system shuts down. So unless you set the hardware clock
elsewhere, a wrong setting of 'My System clock uses UTC' will not
cause random data changes.

What date values are you seeing? It may be you have a hardware
problem with the hardware clock.

If you are only running Linux on this machine, you really should set
the hardware clock to UTC. It takes care of problems of daylight
saving time, if you use it.
