Can't get past 79 post

I cannot get my computer to boot. This has been coming on for a long time. I would boot and it would hang posting a 79 code, normally a reboot would get it by. Then I would have to reboot several times and it would finally get past the 79 error and boot. Now I can't get it to boot at all. Anyone have an idea?

Hello cliffamy

Welcome to the ROG forum.

Code 79 = CSM Initialization

1) Try clearing the cmos with the button on the back of the motherboard, does this let you enter the bios?

2) Remove all usb devices except your mouse and keyboard.

3) Try pressing the memok button.

4) Try updating or reflashing the bios.

List your psu for us too please.

Hey Nate152,

I hope your still viewing this site! I have been traveling on business for nearly a year and when I'm home have had no time to try and figure this out. I added the power supply in my post above. I thought there may be an issue with it but it turned out to be working just fine. I replaced the Ultra anyway and now have a very nice Corsair RM750i. I have tried clearing the memory but no change. I'm open for anything at this point. It's such a nice set up with very nice components that it's making me crazy!
