Penryn1600sli CMOS check bad error

I have recently updated the bios and now everytime I restart it gives me two options.
press F2 to go to setup
and
press F1 to load default settings

I have done them both reinputting the bios but the bios dont save settings and just repeats everytime I restart.I have even cleared the cmos from jumper 1 and 2 to 2 and 3 for five seconds. then put it back.
All that does it resets my date and time settings. but nothing new.
Should I maybe remove the cmos battery in series of jumping the 2 and 3 pins?

- I have done that and still it will not past post without offering those options. I'm beginning to think the CMOS battery is dead because I had this tower unpluged for over 6 months straight.

- One more thing to add, Should I jump the clear pins before I pull the battery or after?

That sounds like a classic case of a dying cmos battery.
