1. Measure the voltage of the new battery with a voltmeter to be sure you did not get a bad one by chance. Should be over 3 volts
2. Did you insert the new battery with proper polarity.
3. Inspect the battery socket contacts for corrosion
4. Clear the cmos setting using this guide, scroll down to "clearing cmos settings"

beyond these efforts I can only suggest there is a motherboard defect.
