CLR CMOS Light Stays On

Hello,
while trying to plug in a new keyboard on the back of my computer, I accidentally pressed the CLR CMOS button (which I was unaware of until now), and it immediately turned on, but since then I can't restart it... On the motherboard display (an Asrock P67 Transformer), I have an error code A3... However, before I touched this button, the computer was working perfectly!
The fans of the power supply and the graphics card start up, but that's as far as it goes... It doesn't even get to the BIOS, and I only hear one beep coming from the motherboard at startup... How can I disable this function?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

    Good evening,

    A silly question is whether you have tried pressing that button again once the computer was turned on? ^^

    If you have, try removing the CMOS battery and restarting the computer without it, then putting it back and restarting again.

      Yes, I pressed the button several times... I also tried without the battery.
      Thank you ReATO

        You can try removing the battery and waiting 30 minutes, then putting it back and restarting to see if that works :)

        All hope is not lost ;)

        I left it without the battery all morning... I also changed the jumper's position as I saw in another forum... I understood what the CLR CMOS function does, but I don't see anywhere that says why this LED remains on :/

      Still haven't found it.. I read online that it could be due to overheating.. only my fans show no signs of weakness...
