This isn't actually an error. But perhaps an issue with PC design. The internal clock of your PC stores a time and date, but it DOESN'T store which time zone you're in. All it stores is, for example, "20:20". When you install a new OS, it reads that time and must make one of two assumtions: Either the time is stored as local time (in which case no adjustment is necessary, but there may be issues when Daylight Saving Time comes into effect) or atomic time, UTC (in which case 8 hours must be added on before displaying the time to the user). There is no right or wrong answer to which method to use. Linux assumes the hardware uses UTC, Windows assumes it uses local time. Both can be configured to use either method (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Time#Time_standard) and it's best if they agree.
