Hello. I have Acer Aspire X3995 PC. I bought used rx560 graphics card to upgrade GPU which as it turned out uses only half of the PCI-E contacts. I've read that x8 components should work without problems in x16 slots... but on turning on system wasn't beeping and outputing any signal on monitor, even though fans were spinning.
I took motherboard and GPU to repair service for diagnostic and used GPU was working fine in other, even older rig, and also my PCI-E slot was healthy and could run some Nvidia's 5xx graphics card. But not my GPU... Master said that this is probably due to bios not recognising 8x graphics card as a graphics card, and after trying resetting bios, said that I need other motherboard because this has no bios updates...
Is this issue known?.. Is there really no workarounds except buying new motherboard?.. I don't think about another GPU because this was a good deal, and I already know it's working, and few days passed already...

(I bought from hands this time and it was working in games and in Furmark so GPU is fine... )
