Wow, you probably hit on of the eletronic / tech issues where there's no explanation  Cheesy

You did a good job already trying most common problems, bios update, change risers, GPUs etc

You can try to change some settings on bios for sure
I have another motherboard, but I had some issues with 3 cards, the motherboard only recognized 2, no matter which positions, so I change settings on Bios, specifically on PCI-e section, and after some try and errors I found the issue.

You can try to change 1 parameter at time and see how it goes
Another thing to try, put a monitor or a adaptor on this GPU1
Try to clean this slot with isopropyl alcohol or a clean contact product

After that, I don't have more ideas, let's see if some person here have some idea

Or, you slot could be broken, some contact or pci lane is damaged


Thank you for your reply Smiley

I tried mostly everything in the bios, on pcie and other parameters... nothing changed.
I cleaned the slot, but the problem is still there.

I don't think it's the slot itself. Like I showed on this picture :

I removed the riser from slot PCIEX1_1. I moved this card with the riser to slot PCIEX1_5.
On PCIEX1_5 there was no HW errors.

The card that was on PCIEX1_2 was running fine too before I moved the PCIEX1_1 to PCIEX1_5.
But after moving the PCIEX1_1 card, the PCIEX1_2 card was generating a lot of HW errors.

On the mining software, the PCIEX1_2 card was displayed as GPU1.

Very strange thing..
