Computer had stayed up all night although what I didn't know at the time was the slot is a PCI express at 4x. I returned the card to the PCI 3.0 16x slot and ran into issues again, this time starting as early as the boot selection screen for Win 10. This is starting to look like a motherboard issue of some kind. Later today I'm going to be trying out my old 270 in the PCI 3.0 16x slot.
Update: Reseated the CPU, no change. Used BIOS switch on the card, no change. without a spare card on hand, seems getting access to it today isn't going to happen, testing the slot itself is unpossible.
I'm debating if updating the bios on the motherboard is worth the time and effort. Also debating what to do moving forward, do I switch over to Ryzen when it releases or give up on AMD and go with an i5 mid range and a decent motherboard. I'm starting to question Asrock's quality based off some of the things I've been seeing over the last few days.
