Errors with 2070 Super

if i'm getting x16 all the time, and then one day it reads x8, thats RED ALERT, 5min. to nuclear winter in my book. I had no idea that PCIe was that sensitive to kicking around, thought it was just HDDs.
OK carry on, someone pls help our guy. Although if it was me with such nasty looking errors, I'd reinstall the OS long ago.

 

im thinking OS reinstall tomorrow is what im going to have to do

 

Chipset: here
Intel Management Engine: here
BIOS: and here

Give a try!

If above doesnt work, then reinstall OS: Windows 10 20H2 x64

 

I had a similar issue with an Asus H270 Prime. My problem was when the Pci x bus was set to Auto or Gen 3 it would crash the gpu during gaming but if it was set to Gen 2 it gamed without a single crash. I tried removing gpu, blowing out slot and reseating the gpu many times but never solved it. I ended up replacing the mb with one from Asrock but at least no more issues. I think I'll stay away from Asus from now on.
