THINGS TO TRY

Make sure the console has not been deprived of power in each instance. If power is unavailable, the console can only hold the charge that powers the clock for approximately two hours. After this, all Xbox consoles must go through the clock reset screen.
If this behavior occurs only occasionally, the console may be losing the retained power, and a repair is required to permanently fix the issue.
If this behavior occurs on every turn on, the capacitor that holds the charge for the clock is not functioning correctly. The console must be repaired to correct the issue.
