Any thoughts on the below issue :
 
A fatal hardware error has occured - Component : PCI Express Root Port Class Code: 0x30400
 
GTX 970 FTW throws a BSOD with vidia driver has stoped responding and then a bugcheck and a whea log in event viewer upon reboot.
 
Card needs RMA or is this an easy fix?
 
I have two other 970s in SLI seem to have narrowed it down to one of the three in particular

    Motherboard or cpu is the problem. https://forums.evga.com/W...-PCIE-30-m2217198.aspx

    That link was v interesting :
     
    "I can replicate a warning in my event viewer on windows 7.  It gave me 15,000+ errors in the last 24 hours. I have 680s in SLI and both are running in 16x with a sound card on the bottom slot  running at PCIE 2.0.  I get this error if I have pcie 3.0 enabled in the bios.  If I enable the video cards to pcie 2.0 in the bios  I can get the error to go away."
     
    I just recently swithed my PCIe order around a bit after GPU swaps : I have an SR-X current order is Slot 1 GTX 970 Slot 2 deactivated (mainboard switch) slot 3 GTX 970, slot 4 deactivated, slot 5 GTX 970, slot 6 deactivated and slot 7 Creative XFi Titanium HD soundcar, so last slot is soundcard just like in that link above, however, problem started once I reactivated slot 1 where first GPU was housed, (bubbles in my gpu loop so that card was going to run too hot if i let it start with the others without finishing bleeding loop). In SR-X BIOS all slots were GEN 2, in BIOS you can configure PCIe slot 1-2 GEN2/GEN3 and same for Slot 6, GEN2/GEN3 but it doesn't mention anything about the other slots.
