It's possible that one or the other thinks the system is on GMT. Is the time change the difference between your time zone and GMT time? I seem to remember that by default, Fedora will choose the system being on GMT and if you don't catch it during installation, your time might always be off that.

Is it Fedora that is off, or Windows?

If that is the case (that is, with one of them giving GMT time) then there's nothing wrong with your CMOS. Otherwise, if the time difference varies randomly, there is a good chance that replacing the battery will fix it.

Scottro is right. Fedora will set to UTC (formerly known as GMT) during installation.

To fix it in Fedora go to Date and Time and select Time Zones and make sure "System Clock use UTC" is not checked.

Fedora time was calculated as:GMT+TimeZone .so just click 'SYSTEM'->'MANAGEMENT'->'DATE&TIME'->'TIME ZONE' make sure "System Clock use UTC" is not checked.
