nw15062 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 In your bios set the pcie slot to 1x and disable super io skewing report back if this works for you as it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw15062 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Found that if I set the pcie slot used to 1x mode and disable super io skewing that all my soft and hard crashes went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalunicorn Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 My bios doesnt seem to let me set individual slots to any mode and i dont see any "super io skewing" option either. Shame :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw15062 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 What do you have for a mobo? I might be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw15062 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I found fixing it with setting the pcie slot to 1x mode instead of 4x or auto gen 3 applies to a 16x8x slot with full interface instead of the short slot designed for 1x cards.

colonelpanicked Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 nw15062 is on to something (for me). Disable "Super I/O Clock Skew" and put the WiGig card in a PCI slot you can explicitly set to X1 bandwidth, Gen 3 mode. I haven't verified that each of these steps is necessary, but I shotgunned all three changes to my system and everything works now (edit:) it becomes playable. It still BSODs. Here's the message I sent to support today: I'm deviating a bit from the instructions because I believe it's been fixed (I've gotten in an hour of play time with several games and no issues). Previously, the WiGig card was plugged into the slot PCIEX1_1 on the Asus ROG Crosshair 6 Hero, nearest to the CPU: This seemed to be in accordance with the suggestion in the manual. I left the BIOS untouched. This resulted in crashing at various times -- sometimes right when starting SteamVR, other times at the beginning of games, other times 10 minutes in. Earlier today, Reddit user u/nw15062 made this suggestion to me: "Explicitly assign the pcie slot to 1x mode and disable super I/o skewing in the bios under advanced> onboard device configuration." I moved the card to PCIEX4_3, which I then manually assigned to X1 bandwidth and GEN3 mode, and disabled Super I/O Clock Skew. Now I'm up and running. I would like to test these variables independently -- I wonder if the clock skew disable is enough to fix it since the DPC Watchdog Violation is, in general, a timeout error.

Mentalunicorn Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Youre def onto something there, sad thing for me is that my bios doesnt have anyway to manually assign individual slots to anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider2465 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Same thing with mine. I don't have anyway to manually assign individual slots to anything either. I have a asus tuf b350m-plus gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrostasis Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 My MSIC X399 gaming pro carbon mobo will let me assign but tweaking anything in there seems to keep it from posting. I also dont have the option for 1x only 4, 8, 16 depending on the slots. Tried setting all to 4x with the exception of the GPU and it wont post so thinking thats not the solution.
