x299 Taichi - using PCIE-4 causes crash

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

   Whenever I plug anything into PCIE-4, the computer will crash a few seconds after logging in. So far this has included a 1394a card and a Slate Digital VRS8 audio interface card.

Are there any known reasons this might be happening? Happy to lay out my spec if more information is needed.

	There are settings in the BIOS for the PCIE Slots, set on "auto" by default, where you can choose Gen 1, 2, 3. Since PCIE 4 is a gen2 1x slot (contrary to all other which are gen3), there might be need to adjust that setting.

	Hi CHnuschti, just tried this, no luck I'm afraid. FWIW the only options were "1" and "2" for PCIE4 so I believe it is registering properly.

	I have no additional idea what the cause might be. But AFAIK a PCIE 1x card should work in any PCIE slot, regardless if it is 4x, 8x or 16x. Did you try this in order to narrow down the reason of the problem. If those cards work there except in PCIE4 it would clarify things.

	I have tried in PCIE ports 2 thru 5, same results. My CPU has 44 lanes so they should all be functioning
