Rampage iv formula gen3

Hello this is my first post and I need some help with my motherboard.
I know my system to a little old but I'm hoping someone could help me figure out what's going on with it.
So my problem is i am trying to get my Video Cards to go in to Gen3 mode.
But every time I set it in the Bios upon rebooting I will get a debug code 94 or 96 and the system will not boot...sometimes it will boot into windows but it will take many tries for it to do so.
If I set Gen2 mode there is no problem whatsoever system boots fine...

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro
CPU
Intel Core i7 3960X
Sandy Bridge-E
RAM
32.0GB DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard

Hi,

i don't know if i can help you, but i have the same board and for activating gen3 i used this:

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3135/~/geforce-gen3-support-on-x79-platform

I never had an error message like you (btw. did you get it in the BIOS or in Windows?), but without it GPU-Z always shows me PCIe 2.0. Sometimes, think after an Nvidia or Windows Update, i have to reinstall it again and it works for a while. So i check it from time to time.

Hope that helps you.
