Hello again. Here is my PCIE config for my Asus Z97-WS:
Last working config:
PCIEX16_1 - MSI GTX970 4G
PCIEX1_1 - *EMPTY*
PCIEX16_2 - *EMPTY*
PCIEX4_1 - ASUS USB 3.1 TYPE A
PCIEX16_3 - ASUS THUNDERBOLT II/DUAL
PCIEX1_2 - WIFI
PCIEX16_4 - MOTU PCIE-424 (Audio interface)
Everything was working great but I noticed something in the manual stating the when the 4X slot is enabled one of the USB3 headers and the SATAexpress_E1 would be disabled. Since I had a free slot in PCIEX16_2 I figured I could disable the 4X slot and get some extra ports.
Changes that broke boot.

After swapping ports the system would post but refuse to boot into clover with this error:
OsxAptioFixDrv: Starting overrides for .IABootFiles\boot.efi
Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no
efiboot loaded from device: XXXXX
boot file path: .IABootFiles\boot.efi
…………….
root device uuid is ‘X’
Error allocating 0x122c0 pages at 0x000000000169fa000 alloc type 2
Couldn’t allocate runtime area
Boot failed, sleeping for 10 seconds
What I’ve tried so far:
Nothing would make this thing pass the error after it first happened. Removed everything but my GTX and it was still giving the same error for SSD and USB boot. Very odd. At that point i tried to clear the CMOS, no change. went back to original config of having the USB3.1 card in the 4X slot and surprise surprise it boots fine.
So from here I could just keep the config and it will, work but I really want to get the card working in the x16 slot to free up the other USB3 and SATA. Also the time it takes to post BIOS is about 20 seconds longer when I have anything in x4 slot
Later I tried changing AptioFix2 to AptioFix or AptioLowMem - no change.
Changing Vbox for HFSplus - no change
Clear CMOS - no change
windows still works 100% fine in any of these configurations. Any ideas?
