You need to enter BIOS (or CMOS settings), aka "Setup", and save the settings.
How to enter BIOS is usually mentioned somewhere--by pressing DEL key, or F2, or
F10 (or even others), depending on the make/model of computer.

When you change your CMOS battery, the BIOS (CMOS) settings reset to
Default which are not ususally the best.
Many times it will set the FSB for the cpu to a default setting that
is lower than it should be.


For instance, if you have an AMD XP2200 that is supposed to be set at
a FSB of 133MHz so that it runs at aprox 1.8GHz it may have defaulted
to a FSB of 100MHz so that the cpu now runs at only 1.35GHz.

Check your manual or go online to see how to make the proper
corrections for your motherboard BIOS.
Be sure you select Save when you get out of the BIOS if you're sure
you didn't mess up.
If you think you totally screwed up while in the BIOS, just close out
choosing NOT to save.
Once you get it set up the way you want it, record the changes for
future use.
Try this link for a pretty good explanation of the various BIOS
settings
Use the free BIOS Opt Guide.
