First, stupid question maybe, but did you put back the battery before switching on, or did you put it back wrong way round ?
(take a good look at the + - markings before installing)
Second, try a new battery, maybe the one you have is dead, don't know how old your mobo is, but those batteries usually last a few years (3-5)

1. Do what Wobbel says FIRST.

2. move the Jumper on the "reset bios" header. That is to say, Put the battery back in, then move the resetBIOS jumper....wait 10 seconds, then move the jumper back.

Manytimes the bios gets locked if you mess with the battery, and you need to reset it to default (via the jumper) before booting up.
