Cycles render Blender 2.79b - Texture/Material being rendered solid black

Question

EDIT: So after restarting my pc, and messing around with options I got the texture to show up but it was still broken ( as if it was deepfried ). I retried with a new project and started out with blender render which worked fine, I then switched back to cycles, reapplied the texture and it works fine now. I don't know how but I won't complain.

I am still a beginner with Blender. I imported a csgo model along with it's texture. After I applied the texture, it's visible in texture/material mode but renders completely black when I preview render. Any help is appreciated.

Dropbox - .blend

Dropbox - .tga (texture file if missing)

"downloaded model", mmm... most likely duplicate: strange black shading, cannot fully light model or object appears black or mesh is entirely black — , Feb 25 '19 at 00:01
Micle, I've tested your file and Cegaton is right, you need to click this button — moonboots, Feb 25 '19 at 08:10
