Z170 Extreme6 - non-working PCIe x1 cards

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a problem with non-working PCIe x1 cards in my Z170 Extreme6 motherboard. All the cards are in working order and they were tested OK in three different computers with different motherboards. I have 5 expansion cards and only 2 of them works in any slot; third one works partially, fourth, and fifth one are not detected at all. I suspect an error in the initialization of the cards at the UEFI start (but I may be wrong). I'm using UEFI v2.50.

Here is the list of these cards with device IDs, names and working drivers:

1. Working cards:

a) Axago PCEA-SPL (2x RS232 + 1x LPT controller):

      PCIe to Multifunction Peripheral Controller - driver v3.0.0.0 (25.06.2014)

      PCI\VEN_9710&DEV_9912&SUBSYS_1000A000&REV_00
      MCS9950MF\STN_CASCADE_COM
      MCS9950MF\STN_CASCADE_COM
      MCS9950MF\STN_CASCADE_LPT

 b) Oupree OPR-HD880 (HMDI/Component/RCA/S-Video framegrabber):

      HD880 Video Capture Device 2.00 - driver v1.0.27.18 (10.03.2010)

      PCI\VEN_1A0A&DEV_6202&SUBSYS_62021A0A&REV_01

2. Partially working card:

- StarTech PEXHDCAP60L (HDMI/DVI/VGA/RCA/Component/S-Video framegrabber):

      PEXHDCAP60L (two devices) - 1.1.0.142 (18.03.2015)

      PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7160&SUBSYS_12AB7517&REV_03

This card is detected properly in any slot but it's impossible to run it due to an error $0A of the driver in Device Manager.

3. Non-working cards:

a)  TBS 6928 DVB-S2 satellite tuner card with CI+ module slot (1st edition):

    TBS 6928 DVBS/S2 BDA Tuner - driver v1.0.1.6 (19.12.2012)

    PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7160&SUBSYS_00016928&REV_03

b) StarTech PEXHDCAP (HDMI/DVI/VGA/RCA/Component framegrabber):

   PEXHDCAP60L (one device) - driver v1.1.0.142 (18.03.2015)

   PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7160&SUBSYS_12ABF501&REV_03

Due to similar construction, a driver for the newer (PEXHDCAP60L) can be installed and it's visible with the newer name (on the other computers of course).

Both cards are not visible at all, no mather which slot I put them in.

My colleague has the MSI Z170A Gaming M7. One of the previous versions of the UEFI for this mobo has a problem with visibility of three cards at once. It was solved when he downloaded UEFI update from MSI support site which was uploaded by one of the moderators. User of their forum has reported that his GTX 980Ti GPU did not work in PCIe x16 upper slot but did work in the lower ones. I don't remember if he updated his UEFI flash with that non-official update.

I would be very grateful if you could look at the problem. 

Here is my config:

Mobo: ASrock Z170 Extreme6
CPU: Intel i7-6700k @4GHz
Memory: Kingston HyperX Savage DDR4, 8GB, 2800MHz, CL14 (HX428C14SB/8)
SSD: Kingston SM2280 120GB SATA3 (SM2280S3/120G) 
HDD: WD 3TB
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R9 380X 4GB GDDR5
