4080S Doesn't Boot on PCIe Gen 4, only Gen 3 works

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

   When my PCIe x16 link speed for my GPU in the BIOs is set to either Auto or Gen 4, my Zotac 4080 Super doesn't work/boot up.

It freezes and crashes at the AsRock logo screen or sometimes the dash at the top left corner.

Switching to Gen 3 makes it work every time. Still unsure what the problem is, as it should work fine with 4.0. Does anyone have an insight here of what to do? Does anyone have the same problem?

-Mobo: AsRock X670e Steel Legend

-GPU: Zotac RTX 4080 Super Trinity Black
-Memory: Corsair DDR5 32GB (16GBx2)
-SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
-PSU: Corsair RM1000e

	Hello! This is a well known issue. Questions: 1. Are you on the latest BIOS version of your motherboard? 2. Are you on the latest BIOS of your video card? If you're not on the latest firmware, then I suggest you updating the BIOS! I hope this helps...
