Rampage V Boot fail Q Code 79

Level 7
I flashed my BIOS to latest version (was having problems with USB 3 ports) the flash itself was successful, however if I power it up from being switched off it boots fine but when I do a reset it hangs with a blank screen and shows 79 on the Q code readout.

I tried switching to BIOS 2 which had a old version and it done the same thing. Also tried redoing the flash using backflash.

Q code 79 is in the manual as CSM initialization, which doesn't really help me much.

Iv disabled fast boot and tried unplugging everything inside, just leaving the boot drive and im not getting anywhere with it. I have a feeling its something in the BIOS not set correctly.

Anyone offer any help or suggestions on this?

Yes, of course. 🙂

Could use help!

I got a new 3090 ftw3 and it gave me a d6 error.

I reset the bios and cleared my cmos battery and now it is stuck at 79.

How do I reprogram the chip?

Any ideas?
