MOtherboard Bios ERP set to s4+s5. Could not find a bios setting to Enable ASPM (active state power management status to enabled) to configure the PCI express slot for ASPM L0 and L1.

On Reddit discussions, it is said that there are "hidden settings" inside the bios that can turn on ASPM L0s and L1.

On pci Express x8 bus #9 (which is nested inside the pciex16/x8_1 slot at the top of the board), ASPM for upstream shows as only L1 capable but it is enabled
On the next bus down inside bus #10, Aspm for downstream also shows as only L1 capable but it is enabled.
On the next bus down inside bus #11, The asrock card shows that it supports L0s and L1, but it status is DISABLED
