Windows won't boot when gpu is using pcie riser.

[Bcacon]

So I have been working on a small form factor pc which required the gpu to be mounted in a way that requires a pcie riser. The problem being I cannot get the pc to fully boot with the gpu hooked up this way, I can get into bios fine but the pc seems to crash when booting windows. I have tested all the hardware without the riser and it all booted fine.

Motherboard: ASUS Z170I PRO GAMING
Gpu: Evga 760 SC 2gb

What kind of riser is it?
Does it support PCIe 3.0 16x?

I've seen somewhere that there's other kinds of risers (x4, and the likes)

I figured it out, turns out i was getting some interference and need a shielded riser with my setup.

Did my answer prompt that or did you discover that of your own accord?
