Windows 10: Is there Motherboard diagnostic software for PCIe slot available?

Hi.
First, the question. Is there any diagnostic software available to let me know whether my PCIe slot is working?

Just thought maybe someone here, might be able to answer.

P8z77-v motherboard for i7 2700k.
HD6970 gpus.

I used to run Crossfire in Windows 7. Worked great. I pulled a card and let someone else use it for awhile.
I tried to install it again and now, I can't get crossfire to work.

Since then, I have...

upgraded to win 10
Tried each card individually in the 16x slot. Both video cards work.
Tried each card individually in the 8x slot. All I get is a black screen
i can't try the 4x slot, my cards are too thick & the PSU gets in the way.
enabled crossfire using my iGPU & HD6970 and it worked.
*when I install both cards, I do not get an option to enable crossfire
*MSI afterburner, GPUz, and windows10 does not show that I have 2 graphics cards installed.
My fans for the 2nd gpu is working
I uninstalled AMD drivers using the AMD driver uninstaller. Re-booted. Then installed the most up to date drivers available for my graphics card. Tried this a couple different times. Once with each card installed in the 1st pcie slot.

I have done searches, but every post says: "try this or try that..." none answer the question of... Is there any diagnostic program to tell me for sure, that the pcie slot is not working.

BSOD Question *Dump File Included*

So, since it is probably caused by "hardware" could it be the GPU itself or the Pcie slot on the motherboard?

 

Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro isn't recognized by game Capture HD

Game Capture HD software cannot detect Elgato HD pro.

I've been having this problem since day one that I got the new HD pro. I install it into a pcie slot and nothing happens. The computer doesn't react whatsoever. I then switch around all my graphics cards in order to install the HD pro in the slots that were
normally taken but still it doesn't react with my pc, while all my other cards, though switched around, work just fine.

I then go into BIOS and go to the system display where it shows everything that is currently connected to the motherboard. The pcie slot where the elgato hd pro is installed shows up as saying nothing is connected. Every other graphics card that is installed
shows up but not the HD pro.

I've done all the steps on the elgato gaming website and sent emails. No response.

Does my elgato simply not work or do I have to do something with the motherboard or pcie slots?

All help is appreciated

 

There are troubleshooting tools available, but they involve plugging in a piece of hardware into that interface. Your bios controls whether it will see the device in the PCIe slot or not. Also the spec's for your motherboard for what type of PCIe slot that is, determines if it can handle that card, along with your power supply.

 

Thanks for the response. The point is moot. Unfortunately, under windows 10, I get lower frame rates in my primary game so I will be uninstalling.

Thanks.

 

You will have to update the video driver and also tweak the settings for the game. 10 optimizes the RAM, CPU and without enough power for that card or enough RAM on the card or slow APU/CPU/GPU on it, yes the rate can be off some.
