Hi, First I'm gonna tell you specs of old and current pc: (Also this is gonna be long, I'll try to mark the more important parts with Bolding)
Old(!) PC: {
--MB: Asus H97 Pro Gamer,
--CPU: Intel Core i5 4460,
--RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB DDR3 1866Mhz * 4,
--GPU: Asus Dual Gtx 1060 3GB,
--SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB (sata),
--PSU: Thermaltake Smar SE 630w
}
Current(Upgraded) PC: {
--MB: Gigabyte B450M DS3H,
--CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600x,
--RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 3000Mhz * 2,
--GPU: (Same as above),
--SSD: (Same as above),
--PSU: (Same as above)
}
Now to the problem, 1 year ago I bought new cpu/mb/ram (I bought an Asus Prime B450M-A(CSM) back then), installed everything and ready to go but my mb beeped in a certain pattern which I then realized it meant it had gpu problems, I then sent the mb to warranty company, after a week they said it was some bios problem and now it's fixed, brought home the "fixed" mb, tested it, but still didn't work so I moved everything back to old pc (Because I needed(!) to continue playing games)
About 8 months ago me and my uncle(he has some computer knowledge) went through testing it again, I don't remember what we tested exactly, but probably every basic problem solving method, There existed a weird problem, my 1060 worked fine on the h97 mb, but when I connected it to the Asus B450M-A mb it didn't even post, even keyboard's numpad(trying to turn it on) didn't work, I connected a 9500 gt graphics(Which I believe is full length but uses pcie 2 8x) card to the mb and it worked fine (weird) .1 month ago I even tested connecting 2 PSUs(630w + 500w) at the same time to upgraded pc ( 500w to cpu and mb, 630w to gpu), problem insisted except time time keyboard was working!.
Yesterday I bought the Gigabyte mb because I was pretty sure it was mb's fault. Previous Asus B450M mb had only 1 pcie 3 16x, the new one has 1 pcie 3 16x and 1 full length pcie 4x, more room for testing.I said to myself "Ah sht, here we go again" and started changing mb ... same problem, so I moved the graphics card to the lower pcie 4x slot, aaaand it worked (However I couldn't connect most pin-related stuff to mb because the gpu was covering them, I had to power on the pc by using a very thin screw driver :S ). I also updated new mb's bios and gpu's bios(!). So here's my "Question", why does my graphics card works on the old h97 pcie 3 16x and on the new Gigabyte's pcie 4x but not on neither Gigabyte nor Asus(new one) pcie 3 16x slots(Not working: no display)?
P.S. Here's extra hardware I have access to: {
Geforce 9500 gt, Geforce 7100 gs(!), 500w psu, Samsung 128gb sata ssd, 2 sata hdd
}
P.S. My 500gb ssd has Debian 10 on it(The one I'm currently using(and writing this post on it)), and the 128gb has Windows 10.
Thank you in advance. 💙
