Hi, I have the following problem. I have a new video card MSI Radeon R280x. The card can not be started on PCI-E 16X slot. After placing starts constantly starting and sport system in approximately equal intervals. When off PCI-E power connectors motherboard indicates a problem with the video card.Tried the PCI-E X8 slot and there starts, but it does not satisfy me. I put the video card in another motherboard and there starts.
I upgraded my BIOS to version F7. I tried two other video cards on my and they work, the only different is that they are both PCI-E ver. 2.0
Whether this can be a problem on the motherboard?

Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H
CPU: I7 - 4790K
Power : Chieftec cft-750-14c
RAM : 2X4G DDR3 1600G ADATA XPG
Thanks in advance.

PS I apologize for my bad English

If you can RMA do so you most likely have a bad pcie slot.

However if you cannot return it and if your card runs on the other slot then you are good to go, pcie 3.0 x8 = pcie 2.0 x 16.

In other words the loss of performance for that gpu is not even worth mentioning, that is more than enough bandwidth for that card.
