Happy Christmas eve all,

Just been browsing through settings on pc and in system properties/hardware tab-it shows a pci device with no driver attached to it...

Does any1 know what this is,as i am only using 2 of the slots on board and they are both the x16 for the 2 8800's, i have no other add on items.

System as sig.
 
Is the system working fine? If so I might be tempted to leave it but since you presumably aren't totally happy with the situation I'd suggest going through all the drivers on the motherboard CD as that is likely to be the source of the drivers for the device left.
 
I usually find that's because the chipset drivers have'nt been installed fully/correctly either try re-installing your motherboard chipset drivers,

Try right clicking on the unknown device with your motherboard disk in your cd/dvd rom drive and install/update the dervice, direct it to search for the drivers on the motherboard disk, if not does'nt let you search the disk then direct it to search in the various folders on the disk, try each one and it may find the missing drivers it's looking for.

Thanks for that,we try im a moment.
As by my other posts,im not very happy with system,I wanted a awesome machine to last me 2-3 years and i feel its only slightly better than my xp3200 and asus board... lol


Will it be ok to run the motherboard cd to re-install drivers(all of them) straight over top of previous ones.

I would say so but others may not agree.

You've got your self a very nice system there and should feel a hell of a lot faster than your old amd system, on the desktop you may not notice a lot but in games that system should fly.
 
It should be absolutely fine to reinstall all of them, personally I'd leave the newer drivers as they are if you can but it will make no real difference. :)

I rather suspect that you won't notice a difference immediately as you still had a fairly capable system before and you aren't really testing this one yet but wait a year and then try to compare them side by side and notice the difference. Of course this assumes that you use your PC for more than just web-browsing and general office tasks, if not then you are unlikely to ever notice the difference.
 
Well have tried,but keeps stoping at loading ethernet drive components..

I do lots of office work-printing. Game playing and browsing,also looking at pc doing some video editing,when i learn how. lol
 
Have download'd lastest drivers and installed but is still showing as pci device with no driver attached...

Any ideas.
 
You say it "keeps stoping at loading ethernet drive components.." so it could be that, if you check in Device Manager again tell me if you can see one that say's 'Network Adapters', and if so when you click on the + sign does it have anything in there ?

Is the Unkown device under any sub heading, Sound, Display adapters, Disk Drives etc ?

Also did you try what I mentioned earlier,
