Hello fellow PC nerds! I recently installed a new motherboard, cpu, ram and an SSD in my computer and used my old Graphics card because i didnt have Money for a Graphics card, so when i put the GTX 770 in the PCIe 16x slots the computer started crashing when playing games. Later moved the Graphics card to the 4x slot and it worked fine, later the same month I bought a GTX 1060 Strix card and put it in the 16x slot and it still crashed. Moved it down to the 4x slot and workes fine. BIOS and Drivers are newly updated. I really need some help!
 
Solution
Looks like your motherboard PCIex x16 slot is not working as it should be. Since it's new motherboard, I would call for a replacement.
