Question Motherboard error code

[Pheosis]

Hello, my pc recently crashed mid game and showed a bluescreen without any text, I just closed off the pc by force and left it. The next day when I powers up my pc it said 'no signal' on my monitor. My components looked alright, fans were spinning, keyboard lit up. My monitor and HDMI cable are fine, I tested it, I replaced my CMOS battery and cleaned my video card. Now it is displaying a code 79 on my motherboard, an Asrock Extreme4 970. Anyone have an idea? I need my pc to study and I have tried everything and I don't know what to do with this code, on the FAQ it says something about CSM initialisation.. Thanks

Well I removed the battery so that does the trick too I think, but how should I clear CMOS correctly? Turn all power of, remove cable and drain power by pressing on button, or should I just press it while it's on?

It looks to me like a board issue.

When I remove my videocard and leave the ram in, it still displays code 79.

no need to turn the power off... just press the button for 2 seconds and release.. a led will glow...

When I turn on the pc, the CMOS button is already glowing red.

No I have not done it manually. Also I have never overclocked my rig and it crashed mid game.

With one stick it still displays 79, only when I remove both sticks it goes to 19.

are you able to remove the GPU and boot with just onboard video?

Sadly I don't have onboard graphics card on my motherboard.
