Motherboard: G31M
Processor: E5300
Graphics card: 7770 HD
I have a problem, whenever I try to overclock my processor, my graphic card goes from x16 to x1 mode. I see huge performance losses because of this. Odd thing, I can manually change the settings in bios to default, it will stay on x1. Only when I update bios/take the battery out does it ever come back to x16 again.
Few days ago it worked flawlessly but after I pushed my processor a bit too far (overclocked to 3.75, was unstable as f***) this thing started happening. Will getting a new processor fix this issue? Is it the processor, the MB or the graphic card that is causing this?
I also tried tweaking the PCI E frequency with no effect at all. The ONLY WAY I get the card to x16 is when I run the default bios, any tweaking forces it back to x1 and its stuck there until I take the battery out/update bios. Hope I make any sense, I'm beyond tired and desperate now, if I missed some important thing to mention let me know, I really wanna get this fixed
