Weird BIOS issues.

[Wilky210]

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.

Do you happen to have Dual Bios on this motherboard?

if one crashes it wil revert to the older bios as a safe boot.

 

Are there more people reporting this?

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.

You haven't tried the latest Firmware revision?

 

Also i do not see a F5m only a F5 and F5h for your specific board.

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.

It could have been a Bug in the Release of the F5 because the F6 was release rather quickly after that.

But it runs stable at the moment?

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