Hi,

I have built a new pc but cannot get it to work on PCIE 3.0 when it change the settings in the BIOS. My BIOS has options for auto/gen1/gen2/gen3. I'm running a gigabyte r9 280 on an msi z97-g43 mobo on windows 8.1.

When I boot with it set to PCIE3.0 my pc goes only so far as the windows logo after post and then I have a black screen.

My pc build is http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/VPnYqs

Can someone give me some help as this is the first pc I've built and it's probably something glaringly obvious that I'm missing
