  Well this is one thing I found....(Note 3) When the PCIEX1_2 slot is populated with an expansion card, the PCIEX4_X1 slot will operate at up to x1 mode. ......More to the point..........which port/s are you trying to populate ?

Hi

Just a thought have you disabled the onboard ethernet controller ?

i have try it but not working i have contact the manufacturer and they said to me it is most likely  an I/O address conflict
