real time clock failure

I have a P.C that intermitantly fails to boot up . It doesn't run the memory test completely and displays less than 32mb also it says the keyboard is locked or not present. On doing a diagnostic test with checkit the system board failed the real time clock on the motherboard . Does anyone know if this is a fixable fault or is it a new motherboard needed? Also it will not run partion magic the pc locks up .
 
How old is the motherboard?

You could try to reseat the motherboard.....maybe it is touching something and shorting itself out once in a while.

Try putting in a new CMOS battery....if that doesn't work, it really seems as if the motherboard is dying....time to get a new one.
