Graphics card not working properly in PCIe x16 slot

madgreenb · Sep 2, 2014

I recently noticed I only had my GTX 770 in the x4 pcie slot in my motherboard. When I went to put it into the pcie x16 slot and booted up my computer, it acted as if there weren't any drivers installed. I tried installing the latest drivers from nvidia but it said install failed. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? I really would rather not have to run my card in the x4 slot

. (My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-970a D3)

Did you enter BIOS and set the initial display output to PCI 1 after inserting the card into x16?

go to windows updates.

ever notice ( for example ) if you use a usb drive windows needs to find it........... but if you swap slots windows needs to find it again??...........

No, how do I go about doing this? I can't find that option anywhere in the BIOS

I think it should be something like this -

Look at the last option. Please reply with all the attributes present in that option.

Same as yours, "PCI Slot"

But did you find any other attributes? There should be more inside it.

If I hit enter I can chose "PCI Slot", "PEG" or "PEG1"

Choose PEG 1. If not working, go with PEG. But make sure to do this after inserting the card in x16.
