Is there any way to reboot into the BIOS from inside the OS? I know that some boards support software that allows that.

I found this guide if it is of any help: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-access-the-bios-on-a-windows-8-computer/

Do you have "Fast boot" or something similar enabled? If you do, it will skip through the BIOS access screen and will boot as fast as possible. Also, if you're booting from an SSD it will be almost too fast to get to the BIOS. There might be some boot into BIOS software you can get if your motherboard doesn't come with it.

Take it to a computer shop and try and flash an older BIOS.

Also, just to warn you, cheap 760G boards like the 78LMT-USB3 tend to, well, set on fire when using FX-8000 series CPUs. You might wanna just change the motherboard outright.
