Question I am seeing PCIe lane errors

[_Avalanche_]

I am receiving these pcie lane errors with my new build. Are these normal? Or I shouldn't be concerned about them?
Thank you

Seems the picture I attached is removed. So I just tell you the info.
I use Hwmonitor app, and under GOU senction, I notice increase in this rows:
PCI EXPRESS ERROR COUNTERRS:

- Receiver Errors​

-Recovery Count​

-PCIe Lane 2 Errors​

-PCIe Lane 5 Errors​

What CPU/platform?

Not normal if they’re steadily increasing. If they keep climbing, could point to GPU/board defect worth RMA.
Do they increase only under load, or even at idle?

I don't know what to write here to not been categorized as SP_am

CPU amd 7000 seires, the motherboard is AM5

What CPU/platform?

Thanks for the help

after a few hourse of use, I see a few of them. Specillay those that happen on the line. those look so bad to me.

pci express error counters, whats normal whats a problem?

I am hoping that someone could take pity on us mere mortals and help us in understanding PCI Error counters, specifically what is potentially problematic and what is normal, I have two gaming PC's in the house, one is mine and the other is my grandson's, both have AMD cpu's (5700X3d and 9800X3d)...

Some info from HWinfo forums. Might be a solution for you there, specifically post 16 might help.

Yes, the recovery count seems normal, so I don't care about it
But PCIe errors, even as they are just few, and I don't see any problems in the GPU performance, make me worried.
Did you run hwinfo to see what happens in your cases?
I biult my previous pc about 15 years ago. I don't know if this is the reason that I am too sensitive, or I have the right to be sensitive

The more I search, the more it appears it can be anything from graphics cards, to wifi cards, to nvme drives. The general consensus is that if it works fine, it's fine.

If they show up at idle even slowly, that usually means signal integrity issues rather than just load stress.

• Could be a bad riser cable (if you're using one).
• Could be motherboard slot/seating problem.
• Try different PCIe slot if available.

If they keep climbing no matter what, it’s not normal. A handful isn't catastrophic, but persistent errors.

This is right now. after half an hour of playing. but the PC was on from the morning for a few hours, but only the recovery counts happened a lot, as it seems normal. Also a few of NAKs
It works fine as I said, but I don't know.
I will try on another PCIe express. That one is gen 3 I think, but no other way.

Can you guys please check HWinfo for a few hours on your system? to see what happens? specially when power saving options are ON.I would really appreciate it

You fail to mention what GPU it is, but set the PCIe gen for that slot to the gen the GPU is specced for and see what happens.
