No, it’s a black screen with just that written on it:
Does this mean you noticed this recently
Yes
this message did not exist in the beginning
I don’t know. Like I said/lamented in another thread, POST takes a ridiculous amount of time up to 20 minutes, so every time I have to reboot I just go to the bathroom, and maybe by the time I’m back it’s done. I’ve had to reboot a month ago. This time I had no need to go to the bathroom, so I just patiently waited. 2 days ago I needed to reboot again, and I’ve noticed this message again, which means it’s reproducible in the computer’s current state.
Did you check your PCIe speeds after boot?
Yeah. The first one is 3.0.
$ for i in $(dmidecode --type 9 | grep -i Bus\ Address | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/^0000://'); do echo ${i}; lspci -s${i} -vv | grep -E 'LnkCap|LnkSta'; done

What OS are you using?
A normal one
What version does your mobo have?
I’m on 1.A0 04/23/2024
Did you consider upgrading to the latest?
No. Maybe later.
Also check the bios settings in regards to pci-e link speeds if those are set correctly.
What? Where? The damn thing has so many settings I could barely disabled unhinged automatic OC and actually downclock.
your CPU also needs to support it
