The next few times you boot, go into your BIOS and make sure the time's
right there.  And, if the hardware clock's running slow, it may be a
sign that your CMOS battery needs replacing.  Modern computers are
designed that way so that you can know when it's low and replace it
before it dies completely.  It's probably not an issue here, but it's
good to know about in general.

It would be rather strange if a low cmos battery would result in the hardware clock being slow exactly by exactly four hours, no more, no less, on every boot, no matter how much time has elapsed between boots - anywhere between five minutes and sixteen hours - and despite the fact that the laptop's been on the mains power all the time, and wouldn't be drawing the CMOS battery at all.
