I had this problem when I got my computer.  I tried the above first, but that failed.  Try clicking on the time in the lower right corner of your screen; a window should pop up and you should be able to set the correct time there.

    If you are using Ubuntu in dual boot, that may be causing the problem. Ubuntu, by default, assumes that the hardware clock is set to UTC timezone. Windows assumes it is set to local time.

    Easiest way to fix this is to edit your default settings in Ubuntu by editing the /etc/default/rcS  file in terminal. You will find a setting that says "assume BIOS time as"...with the parameter UTC set to yes. Change this setting to UTC=no. Save and close the file.

    Make sure you reset the clock in Ubuntu and Windows after you have done this and also ensure that the timezones, location settings match in both OS.

    Cheers,

    Adi

    If you're overclocking, it could be the fact that Windows 8 Real-Time Clock is borked.

    I want to add that I had this problem of wrong system time while I was living in Geneva, Switzerland (UTC+1).  It happened every time I rebooted. Now that I am back in the US I have not had the problem even once.

    I'm suspicious that there is a bug in the Windows 7 operating system since I see plenty of complaints from people in Europe.

    Good luck,
