The mother board battery is dead, pull the cover and look for 25 cent piece sized battery and replace it.

CMOS Battery Replacement - http://www.liverepair.com/encyclopedia/art...cmosreplace.asp
Don't bother to write down settings, the BIOS will automatically restore the default (settings designed to boot) settings.
A CR2032 is usually available anywhere electronic/photo batteries are sold (Walmart, Kmart, etc.).
