I tried to change the only video related setting in BIOS from Auto to PCI e. I tried to disable also power management in Windows and from BIOS. I have also tried a light more clocking of PCI e reference frequency. Nothing could make switch the video card from x1 to x16 or other mode. The only cause for this could be an inappropriateness problem connecting MB and video card.
