Could these be signs of a dying motherboard? Everything else in the bios works fine until I hit enter on boot settings. Probably about a month ago, My computer stopped booting into Windows Automatically even though my SSD is my first selected drive, and I've had to boot into windows via the windows boot manager selection in my Bios, So as a quick work around I set windows boot manager as top priority in my boot order to skirt around the issue until I figured out what was going on. Now however I can no longer access the boot priority menu and had to boot into windows via the "Quick boot selection menu" that's shown in the uploaded pictures. I've never seen anything like this, does anyone have any ideas?

msi-z77a-gd65.

What I'm going to try next is to disable the on-board button overclock. Could this be some sort of malware?
 
Solution
Your motherboard has 2 BIOS chips. Have you tried turning your PC off and switching to the backup BIOS to see if it has the same problem?

- MULTI BIOS SWITCH: Multi BIOS Switch
This mainboard has two built-in BIOS ROMs (Labeled A and B, default BIOS ROM is A).
If one is crashed, you can shift to the other for booting by sliding the Multi BIOS Switch.
* Important
Do not use the Multi BIOS Switch when the system is powered on.
