Hello Igor

The error states the the "Video Riser is removed". I would suggest reseating the video riser. If that does not resolve the issue then test with a known good video riser if available. You can find more information on the removal of the video riser on pages 145 and 146 of the owner's manual:

Thanks

Daniel, Thanks! I already did that... but nothing new happens... The system at boot screen halted with the message : PCIe Degraded Linked Width Error: Embedded I/O Bridge Device 1 Expected Link Width is x4 Actual Link Width is x1 System Halted!

The issue is with either the video riser or the system board. You need to determine which part is faulty. If you have another video riser then test with it. If you get the same error then the board will need to be replaced.

If you don't have another video riser to test in this system or another system to test this video riser in then you will just need to start replacing parts. I would start with replacing the video riser. If that does not resolve the issue then you will be replacing the system board.

Thanks
