Is it possible for a motherboard to revert back to an earlier version of the BIOS on it's own?
I installed Windows 10 in UEFI mode on my 160GB SSD with a 1TB HDD for storage.
Once I booted into the BIOS I realized I made a mistake and that it was in RAID mode instead of AHCI. I changed it. Which I figured I would get boot device not found error...but I NEVER that or a HDMI signal from MOBO port or PCIe Video card port. With a constant scroll of numbers from the mobo error code LCD display never ending to fast to read... I decided to reset CMOS, tried again nothing, I unplugged the HDD with PC off. Nothing.
Finally it stayed on some codes, but still no signal...

(32)CPU PEI initialization.
(62)Initialization of the PCH runtime services.
(A6)Detect and install all currently connected SCSI devices.
The last one made sense so I plugged the HDD back in and got a repair prompt. Restarted and repaired it, wiping all files. I thought it was all good till I went into my BIOS and it was back on F7!
I updated to F8 as soon as I bought the board back in 2015!

I did I swear I am not on drugs ...
Has anyone ever encountered this ?
Is this a sign of a defective motherboard? Thanks
