Rampage 2 Extreme Problem

I reconfigured my H20 loop cooling my VC's. When I went to re- start my system I got a CMOS ERR on the LCD poster. I used the CMOS switch on the I/O panel but I am still getting the same thing. The only things I removed from the MB were the two VC’s and the sound card. This system ran perfectly for the last month and from the first boot.
I have tried resetting the CMOS numerous times and I still get the same thing CMOS error. I must be doing something wrong or overlooking something.
Any ideas? TIA

My system;

CPU I7 EE 965 H20 cooled Aqua Cuplex DI-External Aquaduct 360
RAM 12GB Corsair Dominator 1600
MB ASUS RE2
VC EVGA 2x280 GTX H20 cooled AquagraFX
HDD's 2xWD VR 300 RAID 0 - 2 WD Black 1 TB RAID 1
PSU Silverstone ZM 1200
DVD LG Blu-Ray HDVD Burner
Samsung 305T+

Thank you, it was simply stellar until today.
This MB actually has two BIOS chips which allows you to back up or alternate between the two. Unfortunately, I cannot get to the boot screen.
I will probably take it apart tomorrow and start over.
