I was cleaning my computer (during which I took out my gtx 760) and once I was done I turned the PC on and the fans and hdd worked, but no picture came up and after maybe 6 seconds the pc turned off. Then a few seconds later it turned back on and after 6 seconds it turnedp
off, and it did this until I held the power button down to turn it off. I look at the mobo and the display showed a 55, which has to do with a problem with the memory. I look in the back and the clr cmos button is lit up red, so apparently I hit it. I tried the hdmi in the motherboard but it didn't help. I just got new RAM and have decided I'll send it into the shop for them to put it in and see what happens, but I'm wondering if I can fix the problem before sending it in, or if I need a new mobo or even cpu in case I damaged something somehow.

Also I just tried turning it on again and a 10 came up on the mobo the first time, and only once, before the pc immediately turned off and then the on then off stuff started happening. These error codes have to do with memory, apparently. Any idea what to do? Should I just send it in and see what happens with the new RAM?

TL;DR clr cmos button lit up, 10 and 55 error (have to do with memory), pc turns on and off, on and off, etc.

I'll try. Should I do something with the cmos battery, like I've been reading about, if the pc turns on but there's no image?
