Finally got it working again (not sure how), but not my top PCIe slot is reporting (to GPU-z) that it is running at x1 1.1 - and video performance confirms that. I tried the lower slot and it runs at x8 2.0 (as it should), but all attempts at using the top slot all result in it running at x1 1.1 (for a while it was x1 2.0, but now not). Any ideas? I'm leaning towards defective board, unless someone knows of a hidden power saving setting or something that might be causing it.

Reset your BIOS and set it all to default and see if you still have an issue.

You need to start from scratch.
