Clearing the CMOS


This is often the solution, and it’s frustrating because it’s incredibly simple. All you have to do is find out from the motherboard manual where the CMOS jumper is. Make sure the system has no source of power (meaning the power supply is unplugged and the battery is removed). Then, move the CMOS jumper over the pins that clear it. After a few moments, put the jumper back, plug the power and battery back in, and try it.
If it works, you’re done! Congratulations on being extremely lucky! Karma will probably come around later and bite you in the ass.
If not, continue on. You may have a long road in front of you.
