Reseat your 280, make sure the contacts are clean. Your BIOS should have a PCIE1 Link Speed setting on [Auto], can try forcing that to 16X.

Can also try to reset BIOS? Looks like it worked for someone with a similar problem.

Looks like you need to reset BIOS. Shut down computer, take out battery, unplug the power and wait the green light on the board is off and put the battery back.
