    You can use a x8 PCIe slot too, even a 4x one. However, OP said he changed the motherboard 3 times with the same model.

    Sorry I haven't read the whole thread, apologies if this has been discussed: BIOS update and a CMOS reset is what I would say.
    Yeah that's what I mean. there are other slots but not x16. So you say I can try x8 (or x4 if I don't have an x8)? It will still work?

    Can you give me some more info about the CMOS reset? Or an external link explaining the procedure?

    Thank you

    X16 and x4 differ in bandwidth, at worst you will lose some GPU performance which is ok while diagnosing.

    You can check your motherboard's manual for how to reset CMOS. It will involve removing the CMOS battery and setting a jumper etc.

    Well I only was wondering and it was a mistake of me reading the board picture wrong - I read it as ex16 and ex14 but at least there are two slots.

    PS Meant to add there are only two versions of the BIOS available in ay case - GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-H87-D3H (rev. 1.x)

    Video of Monitor


    Hello again,

    I have changed the slot in which the GPU was and for the past 3 (I think) days I had no BSOD.

    Today though, when I turned my PC on there was a blurring thing going on which I cannot explain.

    I am uploading a video of it though. If you know something please tell me.

    Thank you again!!

    Oh good grief that is just awful and I am at a loss now as to what that is - but it does smack of a motherboard problem if both slots are causing these insane issues.

    What I did not mention is that after a restart it was fine. Since I changed the slot I had no BSOD. But this is the 3rd MOBO that I change.

    Is there a case that the problem might be due to the combination of MOBO and GPU? (I mean something not being compatible with the two models..)

    Anyway, thanks again. I really don't know what else to do..

    No V1 mate I cannot think of why they should not be compatible I suppose a look at compatibilities on the board specs might show something different but that is usually the board maker preferring RAM for example.

    I'll have a look anyway:)
