Yes, no BSOD or nothing. Sorry for the late response

I'm at F10 now, Yeah. I was at F7 when it reverted to F5m . The F5m was F5 when i downloaded it, but says F5M on the motherboard in BIOS, i believe. I don't think i ever downloaded a F5m from the site. I still see it in my downloaded files from months ago, too, the file says F5.

I haven't seen anything through google on other people having the issue.. And i'm not sure about the dual BIOS. It's a Gigabyte high-end board. So i would assume it does.

Got a Z370 gaming 7 motherboard. Flashed the BIOS through a USB in BIOS. For some reason every few months or so, my motherboard will randomly go back to the last BIOS flash i had. I used to have F5m and updated to F7. I was fine for 3 months. Today i noticed my RGB lights were all different colors on the MB. So i turned off my PC. Lights were only still on for the motherboard. Unplugged the power. Waited for the power to drain, it did. So then i plugged it back in and turned it. Checked my BIOS to see if everything was alright... It's back at F5m. I'm getting tired of flashing BIOS back to F7 or now the current one that is F10. The weird thing is, when i was at F5m, it would sometimes reset back to F4 which is the revision it came with on the board, I had to flash back to F5m from F4 once in a while too. CMOS battery or BIOS corruption? It's still on warranty too. So, yeah.

Check your private messages. I found the fix for mine. It was Aorus graphics engine.

I get massive stuttering/audio crackling when i leave my PC on for more than 10+ hours. A reboot usually fixes the issue. I mean i've got a friend telling me it's hardware and another telling me a driver issue. Anyone know if i should just RMA now and not waste my time or do a clean install of my OS? Gonna leave Latencymon running over the next day and see if anything turns up. This is the last time i buy Gigabyte. This board has been nothing but trouble.

Thanks, i think when i updated Aorus graphics engine, they did stop turning on. I'll try that out

Did a new build and got everything set up. Everything was working fine. Turned my pc on not even a day later now the RGB lights won't work on the board. No matter what i do. I went into BIOs and even tried to change them (through the RGBfusion setting they have in there); and also used their 'App center' to change colors and turn it on. Nothing.. I'm not worried so much about the lights, but after paying 250 bucks for this board, it would be nice they would work. It also has me thinking i have a failing board. Was looking for suggestions on what to do. Was thinking of returning it back to MicroCenter, it would be a huge hassle though.
