Have you refered to your manual on proper instructions to clear the CMOS?

That board has a jumper that needs to be moved after the battery is out, and then put the battery back in and switch the jumper back to the other settting.

You said you took out the battery, but that does not mean it clears out the CMOS everytime. You would think it does, but I have had this issue before. Try this and get back to us if it did not work.
