Thank you for the help,
 but I figured today myself that the issue was due to faulty risers also in my case...

I bought 4 powered 1x to 16x cables and two of them don't work properly... Plugging 2 gpus directly on the 16x slots and the remaining two with the working risers did the trick and now windows 7 detects all gpus correctly.

Seems a lot of risers cables sold nowadays are of poor quality and many people reports problems.


If can I say something about your rig's instability, could be due to lack of power, maybe your psu is not enough for 4 gpus? You should have at least a 1200w gold rated psu, with a 1250-1300w gold would be safer.

Btw thank you again for your response

hi where did you buy the working risers?

so others can make sure to stay away from the bad ones
