Have you got a spare jumper for the clear cmos if so try leaving the clear cmos jumper on the 2 pins and then remove battery to see if that works

Go to local pc shop and ask for a spare jumper should be no more than 10p or free and then try it as it seems the cmos isnt being cleared properly

I did tell you after removing the power cable from the PC to hit the power button a few times to drain the caps in the PSU, otherwise, the caps store power for what can be a fair few hours, so even removing the cmos battery doesnt help as the PSU is still saving the settings with the power remaining the the main caps.
