Hello again,

I've just finished setting up my new computer thanks in no small part to you wonderful people here!

I was hoping you could help me out again. I've decided to go straight up to Windows 10 and get the painful upgrade out of the way while there is nothing on my computer to fail spectacularly (amazingly so far its been pretty good... despite several issue regarding activation).

Unfortunately, this makes me an early adopter and this has happened http://imgur.com/a/KWQ3w . As Windows 10 has very little pre-emptive support at the moment it.

Ive been to the Asus website and on a previous install while I was getting this all working and installed pretty much everything but hardly dinted that impressive list of Device Unknown and fill my comp with loads of seemingly redundant programs.

Would it be possible for someone to tell me which of the myriad of programs on the Asus support website ( https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/X99S/HelpDesk_Download/ ) I actually need and which are just fluff. Id also like the system temp monitoring programs.

Cheers!

look in device manager, if nothing is highlighted with a explanation point in a yellow triangle you are good to go. if any are, list them here and well help you find drivers. also turn off pagefile for your boot ssd drive so windows doesn't kill it too fast.

52 instances of "Base System Device"

1 PCI Device (This is odd, only two devices are in PCI, the GPU which is working fine and the M.2 shares PICe4 which is also working fine)

5 instances of Performance Counters

1 instance of SM Bus Controller

1 instance of System Interrupt Controller

By pagefile do you mean the "Write Caching Policy"? Its the only thing I can see. "Enable Write Cashing on this device" and "Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device"

THIS IS THE SOLUTION


I got an answer from the Asus Support website.

The posts were this:

Hi r...

See if you can right click on one of those problem devices and select Properties... Details..

Then in the dropdown menu.. Hardware IDs.. and see if you can find VEN & DEV or VID & PID numbers...
Click to expand...

Followed by this after I had posted the requested info:


Hi r..

8086 2FB9 refers to an Intel Xeon processor family as far as I can find... The rest of the devices are defined...

What I'd do here is install the latest Inf(ormation) Utility from Intel...

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/20775

The Intel Driver Update Utility may be helpful..

The Intel Driver Update Utility doesnt work as of 15/10/15 (that date is in EU format dd/mm/yy) on Windows 10. It returns no intel chipset found). The links on the Inf(ormation) Utility worked amazingly and all my devices are now defined.
