So i have two machines with Intel DQ77MK Boards
And have found two bios bugs
On S3 Suspend to ram (UEFI OS) the PCH PCIE ports on wakeup only initialize at PCIE 1.0 x 4 Speed
and are stuck that way a straight reboot fixes this so the bios manages to initialize fine on boot
and just has issues on wakeup
I350-T2=Locked at PCIE 1.0 x 4 after S3 UEFI
Toshiba XG3=Locked at PCIE 1.0 x 4 after S3 UEFI
PCIE 3.0 x 16 Slot doesnt have this problem
PCIE 2.0 x 1 Slots i have no idea as my Intel AC-7260's are 1.1
Windows Event Log moans about a HAL problem after S3 in UEFI Mode
and points at a faulty bios if the OS isnt in UEFI Mode this doesnt happen after S3 in the eventlog
No idea if the PCH PCIE 1.0 x 4 Bug happens in non UEFI OS as i only noticed this bug the other day
but noticed the Event Log UEFI Mode S3 Problem quite some time ago
this isnt just a case of PCIE power management before anyone mentions it
but the device is locked at PCIE 1.0 after S3 as can be confirmed by NVME SSD benchmarks of
700 MB/S instead of 1400 MB/S after S3
I have 100% confirmed this is a bios bug im not looking for help on my specific devices
BUT Requesting a Firmware Update that fixes this Problem
