GPU stops working on x16 PCIe, but works on x8 PCIe?

Hello everybody,

I have 780 ti and recently on high load this card stops working, and my screen goes black, and also at the same time fans spin up to 100%.

I moved the card from the x16 PCIe slot to a x8 slot just to see if this behavior repeats, but on the x8 slot the card works fine.

Would anybody know whats the reason for this really odd behavior.

This behavior is a recent thing and it has never been a problem before, this most certainly has to do with the power management of the GPU or the VRM of the GPU.

Thanks in advance for any helpful information!
