PCI Express status failed, WPE01-E6V

I had the same error this morning.... PCI Express Status Test - WPE01-E6V

Also seeking info.

Hi Again....I restarted the laptop and ran the hardware scan again and got this: Hardware Scan Result (Manual) - Default scan - Passed - August 14, 2019 10:46:13 AM 

So it now passed.....One thing I failed to mention when it was showing it failed before it was showing that when looking at it in the History area....BUT it was always showing no issues found on the home screen under Scan Hardware.  Anyway......It seems to be a fault possibly in the Support assist program. If you get this again restart your Laptop.

Yes, same here.  I had a Dell Engineer come and change the network card and then I had a clear test but since then subsequent Support Assist checks have shown the error has come back.  Every time I see an update I hope that the problem is resolved but so far no luck.

I had the same issue on a brand new PC despite my internet connection working fine whether using Wi-Fi or an ethernet cable.  After a BIOS update it passed on the next hardware scan test but then the error came back next time.  Likewise an update of Dell Support Assist resolved the issue for one test then it came back.  A Dell technician came and replaced my network card and once again it passed the test once then the error came back.  I escalated at Dell and they did various other updates and checks and, yet again, it passed on the next try but failed again after that.  It failed the test today again.  It seems after each update the software either correctly registers the card as working or does not even notice the card to see if it is working or not but after the first time it finds it malfunctioning.  At this point I just ignore the failed test results since otherwise the PC works fine.  This is the first Dell PC I have had that seems to give false fails using Dell Support Assist.  If the fault is in the Dell Support Assist software Dell ought to have fixed the problem by now.

I'm having the same problem on My Dell XPS 8940 bought on Oct. 23, 2021. As for my computer, it is working just fine but every week now or when I run Support Assist it gives the same error. I've tried Dells suggestions but so far nothing solves the problem. 

Uninstall SA using ADV Uninstaller and reinstall. Once reinstalled run SA again and post results.

I just got the xps 5940 yesterday.  I ran the assist program today and got the same error about having a hardware issue.

I have the same issue, call Dell Support.  The agent help me to update all my drivers and BIOS.  Problem resolved.

Here's the URL that was used to check what drivers and updates needed for your specific machine, need you to enter the Service Tag# of you machine.

I, too, have had this error. However, in addition, I have found that the test passes if run Support Assist as quickly as can on startup. As soon as machine heats up slightly, like running only the hardware scan in Support Assist immediately again, the test fails and stays failed for subsequent runs. This, therefore, appears to be a thermal issue with the Network Adapter. I, too, don't understand why after all this time, Dell hasn't fixed the adapter or if the Support Assist test is too tight, fixed that too. As others have found, Dell Tech ran more tests and changed drivers and software to no avail. Seems a Technical Bulletin would be in order. It seems that once the error occurs, there is no fixing it short of machine replacement.

Same problem with new Inspiron 3891. In addition this PC has strange issues with not waking from sleep. A hard start is required. 

Same problem, new XPS 8940. 

Support Assist sometimes reports:

Network Card - Failed
- PCI Express Status Test - WPE01-EYE

But other times passes without flagging errors. I haven't noticed any odd behavior, but it's a new machine...

Same problem with XPS 8940 - Win 11 (3 months old)

Network Card - Failed
PCI Express Status Test - WPE01-EOV

How to solve?

Me too!
