hmm that happened when i updated my BIOS. Should i try resetting again? How would i fix or find out the PCI-E issue? Apok has the same exact mobo as me n i could use his help too.

EDIT:

my CPU has a 125W TDP, the 5000+ BE is lower n yet MSI provided a BIOS update to support my CPU. Should i worry about the TDP level? Like my CPU is getting enough power it needs?
