    Question Maximus Extreme Z690 with Two M.2 SSDs

    Quick question guys. Looking at the planogram below, where do I put two M.2 SSDs NOT to get my 3090 GPU to go to the x8 mode. I have Samsung 980 Pro that is PCIx4 NVME is my bootable drive and 970 Pro NVME that is PCIx3 as Programs SSD From what I understand Boot will go to M.2_2 (CPU direct...

    Asus R9 290X huge problem, The last hope is you.

    I am not sure if you read my OP but as stated once every 2 weeks I am getting this lines (watch youtube in OP) and well clearly something is wrong. Honestly I don't mind rebooting system once every 2 weeks but main problem for me that 3K system is not running as I want, problem is I cannot put...

    That 2D - 3D make sence. I want to get some other PCIx 3 GPU that somewhat power hungry and see how it works. If I'll have same crashes in PCIx_1 and same lines in PCIx_3 (I'll need to play with it for a while to confirm lines thing) then it's a board, if all good on both it's a card.

    Yeah. I really have 0 budget on this problem I am having as you can see I spend a lot on this rig. Like 3 years worth of electronic budget. But its more and more looks like a RMA for 2 mono and card. Let them figure out. Does anyone know detales when something like that happens do they have...

    Thank you for input. Motherboard BIOS is a must upgrade for me. I've been using a lot of ASUS boards and BIOS for mobos are actually worth updating. (not GPU BIOS) So yeah I always on bleeding edge with mobo BIOS, always latest.

    So consensus it's a board right ? Now not to mess everything up with my setup can I try different GPU to see if it works with mobo ? I mean my HD6970 works okay but like I said before may be to try out some other one ? Guys I REALLY don't want to tear my stuff us you don't even know I made it to...

    Asus R9 290X huge problem, The last hope is you.

    Thank you very much for your input like I said in OP I never , and I mean EVER updated BIOS in ANY video card. For all my clients I say if it works DO NOT try to fix it , and updating VBIOS is last thing I'd suggest so there is that. Reason I did it because it was something like this. I did...

    Asus R9 290X huge problem, The last hope is you.

    Is there a .... don't know some kind of a low level logger ? Like to log what exactly happening with the card. Like log of why Driver is crashing for example. I mean it had to be a reason that piece of software (AMD Driver) stop responding and recovered by Windows, the crashing again and again...

    Asus R9 290X huge problem, The last hope is you.

    UPDATE: Because I really had no better Idea I purchased brand new 1200 PSU to see if anything change. It did not. Same thing. Upon putting card in to PCIx_1 I got driver crash and poor overall performance on the PC. Inside the game I got horrible FPS, I let game run for about 5 mins. Whole...

    Not sure what you mean but as stated in OP I tried other card in port 1 and port 3 that worked perfectly. HD6970 in new board in pcix 1 and 3 full load no problems. And yes about 1000 watt PSU its more than enough for my setup.

    Asus R9 290X huge problem, The last hope is you.

    Thank you for your input. I must ask then if its a board how come other card works in both slots under most harsh loads without any problem. What makes you think this is a board issue. Guys you need to understand one thing I've been working on this for a while now and I simply can't send...

    Asus R9 290X huge problem, The last hope is you.

    Thank you for your feedback however I am positive that this is NOT PSU because it would of reproduce exactly same problem on both ports. Only 1 thing I must say in addition to OP that X58 and HD6970 is NOT PCIx 3.0 board and card. Other than that all the same. 1000W PSU is from older system I...

    Hello everyone. Back in September when X99 came out I purchased my dream system, I'll put complete specs later on. But in short and relative I have X99 Deluxe MoBo, R9 290x GPU and Antec 1000W PSU. I can't tell you if I had this problem from day 1 or not but within a week I've had it. Let me...
