    Clean off the card's mxm connector with rubbing alcohol. If that doesn't fix it then the card has broken solder connections, or the motherboard slot is damaged.

    x4 isn't going to limit GPU speed much in most situations. You'll lose a few % at the most. Sometimes you won't lose anything.

    There is a specific test but if you are worried speak to the BIOS developer.
