Rig:

x99 extreme 11
i7-6850k
Asus Strix 1080 8-Gaming
4x8GB HyperX Fury HX426C15FB/8
m2 Slot 2: PX-128M8PeG <- OS
m2 Slot 1: PX-512M8PeG <- Finds it, but not used atm
750W Corsair psu


Problem1: about 60% of the time, it wont get to bios Error Codes ranging mostly from 92-99
Problem2: WHEA correctable error (PCI Express Root Port) on startup from win10 (once I get to eventviewer they stop and don't spam)
Problem3: WHEA uncorrectable/internal BSOD when updating gpu drivers manually or when windows update tries to update them

I tested with 1 Ram, Tested with an old AMD Card, same errors.

Edit: Forcing GEN2/GEN1 PCI Express does not work, same error, same crash
Edit2: Tested with 3.00 and 3.20 BIOS

Well, you're not running out of lanes, that's for sure. Not with that i7-6850K


At the bottom left of the MB is a downward facing 4-pin Molex connector. Plug/power it from a separate cable coming directly from the PSU. It provides additional/supplemental power to the PCIe bus if and or when needed.


Too, your 4 sticks? A single kit?


And JiC, proper mem slots to use:

PSU. What Model Corsair, and how old is it?

I ask because a lot of folks seemingly hold on to their PSU's well after their Use By date. From build to build.

All the parts arrived today, and is a fresh install

PSU : Corsair RMx 750W

I installed the RAM as shown in the manual (A_1, B_1, C_1, D_1) 

I tried PCI Express slot 1,2,4,5 with the gpu

I know the Dr. Debug code from the manual.


Edit: Tested with single stick as well

This 4pin? http://imgur.com/a/kB9D3 I thought this one is only if you have more than 3 GPUS installed

It also has PCIE_PWR2, my PSU doesn't have any 4pin molex.

Yea. Excuse me, I overlooked this MB has two PCIE_PWR connectors.

Use the one you pictured in that imgur link. PCIE_PWR1



Nothing harmful will come of it if the bus doesn't need it bucked up some with connecting this.

The Corsair website for the RMx 750 shows you should have 7 4-pin Molex connectors on, well, one or two modular cables.

Hello Wardog and others

I attached the 4pin molex connector, it did not make any difference.

I clean installed win10 again, updated all the chipset drivers. The BSOD when updating the GPU driver went away.

It still does give me 92/94/96 Error Code on Dr. Debug sometimes.
The WHEA correctable Error when starting is still there.

I ran prime95 for an hour or two as well, no error, max temp 63° with 100% CPU load (no OC obviously)

EDIT: I found out it might have been a driver problem by debugging the dump and checking google, some others even with different chipsets had the same error message when chipset drivers were bugged or not the newest installed.
