Configure BIOS with PCIe Risers

[Tor Eivind]

Hi! I was wondering if I need some configuration to BIOS when planning to use PCIe Risers? I have tried for a whole day to make my "PC" work by rising the GPU with a PCIe riser. Not working. When I plug the card directly into the Mobo it works fine though. So, do I need to enable/disable something in BIOS to make this work?

The motherboard I have is MSI B250 Krait Gaming

Does your PCIE riser needs dedicated power? Like in GPU? (can you take picture and post here?)

It need SATA power. I do not know how to post pictures from my phone, but I will do it later when I get home.

I stumbled across another problem aswell while trying to get this set up.

I was trying to install just the drivers for my GPU by just plugging it right into the x16 PCI slot. Buuuut, I got an error message. I couldn’t even get a picture on my monitor. It said ‘No signal’.
Luckily I had Remote Desktop installed so I could see it from another PC. Error code 43.
I have read multiple treads about this error. But anything I try it doesnt seem to work. Uninstalling and reinstalling like all the guides says. Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, different types of troubleshooting, tried multiple PCI slots...

This I have tried.

Anything else I can try to fix these problems?

If it needs connect it (for riser it always needed it imitates PCIE power), and you cannot install gpu without riser?
Download DDU and go safe mode via Shift+restart https://www.digitalcitizen.life/4-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-10
and then try to install drivers.

Correct. As I did not get the riser to work, I tried to directly place the GPU into the PCIe x16 socket on the motherboard to install drivers. But then I got no signal, so I had to access the PC through Chrome Remote Desktop to be able to do anything. And I got the error message "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (code 43)" when I went to Device Manager til check up on the drivers. Just like this picture:

My PCIe Riser looks exactly like this one:

And I did connect SATA aswell. And GPU got just enough power. But what is worrying me the most now is the error message. How do I fix that? I guess that needs to be fixed before I can make the PCIe Riser work.
