Product: HP Pavilion Gaming desktop TG01-0170m
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I installed an SSD to my PC but it runs about twice slower than it is supposed to.

It seems the cause is a PCIe link width. It should be x4 as it stated in the motherboard (Erica2 8643, B550 chipset) and the SSD specs. HWiNFO64 reports that Maximum Link Width is x4 but Current Link Width is x2. I have tried two different models of SSDs: HP EX950 and Sabrent Rocket 4.0 with the same results.

It looks like the issue is at the motherboard side. BIOS version is F.11.

 

Any idea how to fix it?

 

Thanks
