From another forum it was suggested that I do not have enough available pcie lanes which makes sense. I took a look at the intel site for my processor, g4400 (

Csm is enabled? and when prepare the installation media or usb type whıch choose? gpt or mbr (uefi/csm) ?
csm enable
usb preparation type mbr
is ok for me 3 pcs x 12gpu with b250 fintech
Yes csm is enabled. When I turn off mining mode it is enabled.
What do you mean by installation media type? Like the USB drive I used to install windows has to be formatted a certain way? Or are you referring to the BIOS option "Storage Boot Option Control"? I have that setting on legacy. Should I change it to UEFI?
you should install Windows 10 on a GPT partition and boot your Windows installation using UEFI bootloader, yes. CSM should be disabled. otherwise you'll have many kinds of strange issues while trying to make your 6+ GPUs rig work.
if you've installed Windows using MBR partition scheme, you can convert it to GPT using MBR2GPT tool.
thanks for the suggestion. ill give this a shot. Can i convert my partition and keep my windows exactly as it is or will i have to reinstall windows?
