System clock running fast

LS,
 
My Inspiron 1150 crashed and I removed the battery and the power cord.
Trying to restart failed at first with a bios message that the memory changed (?)
After cooling down the computer started but now the BIOS clock is running like mad.
I can set the hours and the date but the minutes keep counting like seconds and I cannot set them.
 
Setting the XP time using an internet clock normally fixes the problem for most programs but those using the systemclock is is a problem (my AVG virus checker seemsto recognize a problem with the clock and is alwyas out of date)
 
I downloaded and ran the latest BIOS flash update but to no avail.
Anybody a clue what I could do to fix this problem.
Regards
 
Karel

Thanks for your amazingly fast response. My laptop is two years old, not sure if they would do it for me. But great thanks for your help.

I emailed Dell Technical Support and within a week an engineer came by and replaced the motherboard.
And I  haven't seen a bill yet. Excellent.
Succes
