There are 7 devices listed under Sound, video and game controllers. The Asus Xonar DX, Nvidia, and 5 others (no name). Error is :This device cannot start. (Code 10)", and the device shares location 3 with the NVidia.

I've attempted to uninstall and allow plug and play, Search online for a driver, but nothing seems to work.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Tom C

I built the system almost 18 months ago. Very recently I was having a problem with my wireless printer and am still unsuccessful doing it with wireless; it's now setup on USB. When trying to solve the wireless problem I notice the yellow exclamation mark. The sound seems fine to me, but it seemed the easy thing to solve before tyring to get the wireless working.

PS Thinking about it, I may not have downloaded the chipset drivers, that download is happening now.

OK, the download and install is done and the system re-started, but no change.

I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I think it's your best option:

Start from scratch and remove all cards from your motherboard, only connect one drive and reinstall the OS. Then run all windows updates after installing all the latest motherboard drivers. At that point you will know if your motherboard is faulty or you have a driver issue.

there's really no other way to do it, unless you want to waste your time...

No, I didn't want to hear that. But, if that's it, I guess that's what has to happen.

Unfortunately, it does seem to make sense.

Thank you for your advice.
