Title
How to boot Intel D945PSN in maintenance mode (if ram failure or any other issue that will prevent from booting)
Introduction
After spending half the day looking for how to reset CMOS, nothing worked.
Issue symptoms - after setting RAM mode to aggressive, system went into ram failure (3 long beeps with no possibility to enter setup). Nothing worked - tried removing the battery, shorting battery pins, nothing happened, same 3 long beeps.
* Hit <enter> to insert another list item, and <enter> twice in a row to end the list. To get subitems, repeat the bullet character once for each level of indent you want (e.g. **)So, near the battery there is the CMOS Jumper - 3 pins, last two of them from left to right are connected with a jumper.
* Turn off the power source or unplugg it, take the jumper out and place it on the first two pins (from left to right).
* Then plug the computer to power and start the system. It will take you to maintenance mode where you can change the faulty settings (in my case RAM management).
* After you save the settings, bios will let you notice that you need to put the pins in the normal position in order to boot.
* Power off, unplug the power, put the Jumper back, and you're set. You can safely turn on.
