I guess my point is that maybe the OS after booting with it set to disabled makes some changes that somehow fix something. Could that be a thing?
Edit:
Or maybe the graphics card and/or other PCI-E devices get tweaked somehow. Before when I would change the x4 slot mode to the CPU side, my graphics would bench 10k higher in Geekbench, which is weird because that's supposed to to only leave the top x16 slot with 8 lanes instead of 16. I just tested this setting again, and now it lowers my benchmark scores (as it should I'm guessing.)
Unlocking the MSR affects how NVRAM works, so perhaps this BIOS setting also affects the OS at the system level. If anyone else is having issues like me (seems like there are more than few) they could try this and test it out to see if it's a thing/solution.
Hi @FormerUser-50757,
Are things still stable since the BIOS disable/enable?
