I have a T22 laptop, and it has the following issues:
It first started losing its time and date settings, then these happen regular:
1 - Blue Screen of Death every now and again
2 - Wont come on when you press the power on switch
3 - Resets at ant given moment in mid surf or mid any prog
4 - Freezes at any given moment
Any one of these things can happen at any time, its normally the reset and cant get back on scenario. Could this be bad RAM ? or a dead CMOS battery ?

On the BSOD, what error codes do you get? should be in the format of 0x<series of 0's>XXXX last charictors of the code are what tell you what the error is, and that can be isolated down, and we can tell you what is wrong.
Also could you pelase tell us the specifications of the laptop, CPU speed, CPU type, Amount of RAM, etc. and how old the machine is.
With this information we can help you further.

Age isnt in its favour, RAM wouldnt suddenly go bad, could be the CMOS battery dieing, although without that BSOD error code, we can't pin point it down further that guess work.
Have you installed any new hardware or software recently? Often this is the cause of most BSOD's

"STOP: 0x00000050
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
This Stop error indicates that requested data was not in memory. The system generates an exception error when using a reference to an invalid system memory address. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop error."
Quoted from a website, that basically means that a stick of your ram is faulty. To try and determine which one it is, boot your laptop with only 1 stick of RAM in one slot, then move it to the next slot, and repeat with the other stick of RAM, to see which one is bad. If that's not the fault, then look at any other new software you have installed, and uninstall it, seeing as that may be causing the problem.

Okay, I have now removed 1 x 256MB stick and left 1 x 256MB stick in, its been working fine, and hasnt BS'd or frozen on me for at least 30 mins, it hasnt lasted this long in ages - looks like its a RAM problem.
Is it just a simple case of getting a new 256MB stick and slotting it in ? Or is it possible to put 2 x 512MB sticks in there ? I think 512MB is the max TBH.

That would show that you have a faulty stick of RAM. What i would suggest is to use the Crucial RAM scanner : www.crucial.com : this website has a small scanner application, which will tell you what type of RAM your machine takes, and how much you can put into each slot. They also sell RAM directly and are a very reputable company.
