As Grizz said a weak CMOS battery can cause this. It reverts back to legacy boot, all your drives are set to UEFI booting only.
Did you do anything right before this or did it just "happen" when trying to boot ? Did you have the Mobo unplugged from power for awhile ?
So every time I attempted to Boot I would go into BIOS 1st and check everything, and I mean everything!. I followed your guide for installing High Sierra onto a USB stick to the letter. nothing would change in the BIOS each time I started up and I checked it each time. No legacy boot, UEFI boot only. I haven't unplugged anything from inside. I would leave it off overnight before attempting to install again, but nothing, same problem. USB installer will not load. There are three disks inside, An 250GB SSD with Mojave, a 128GB NVMe drive with Mojave and a 500GB WD HDD with High Sierra. As of three days ago all this was working. I could load into each of the drives and not have any problems.
I will admit that I attempted to create a fusion drive with the NVMe and HDD, Having done this before on a 2014 Mac mini with out any problems. But the Mojave SSD wasn't involved with the Fusion process. And if anything went wrong with the Fusion, I could still get into Mojave from the SSD. Then I broke the Fusion drive to get everything back to three drives. Thats when problems started occurring.
