Or BIOS settings? Though personally I have no BIOS settings to change for PCI-e.

The .tmp file is not a problem. This is normal.

This is good to know, I've had this problem for years and until now I had no idea what aspect of my computer caused it. If it could be solved or worked around without disabling the graphics card that would be great of course, but this is progress anyway.
