I have a AMD RX 5700XT GPU paired with a Ryzen 2700x CPU, and have been having a ton black screen crashing while gaming. My computer stays on, sound stays on, but both my screens turn black. There's no way out of it other than a hard reboot...
One of the suggested solutions to this problem is to turn off PCIe 4.0 via the BIOS.
I have an X570 Aorus Elite Motherboard which supports PCIe 4.0. To turn it off, do I choose "Gen 3"? Mine is current set to "Auto".
This screenshot is a little different than my options, I only have:
- Auto
- Gen 1
- Gen 2
- Gen 3
My guess to why I'm missing Gen 3 is because I'm using a AMD Ryzen 2700x. It could be that Ryzen 2*** series CPU's don't support Gen 4?
My BIOS is updated to the most recent revision F12f.
My motherboard manual says:
PCIe Slot Configuration
Allows you to set the operation mode of the PCI Express slots to Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, or Gen 4. Actual operation mode is subject to the hardware specification of each slot. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto)
If anyone has other suggestions for 5700XT fixes, please let me know. This is driving me crazy.
