That "fix" is basically to disable PCIe error reporting (AER, or Advanced Error Reporting). You will stop seeing the flood of error messages, but the errors will still be there.
PCIe has pretty robust error checking and correction mechanisms. If a bit error occurs in transmission of a packet, the packet is re-transmitted. If error rates are low, there's no impact to system operation. But, when error rates are high, there's a higher chance that packet replays will time out or the link will fail altogether (which normally crashes the system, I haven't really seen any system that gracefully handles a surprise down event, especially consumer hardware).
If it is a poor channel issue, typically slots further away from the CPU will have worse channel performance and progressively higher error rates. Does the BIOS have settings for equalizer settings? You could try playing with the values. That could fix a channel loss issue. You could also try shorter USB cables.
It could also be poor PCB fab quality. All else fails, you could try to get a replacement from Biostar.
