PCI Simple Communications Controller”

well mine has not repeat not got an entry for that anywhere in the hardware

and i am running F6 as well

:roll:

As far as I can tell, the the only PCI devices on the board are the southbridge, the audio chip, the Firewire interface, and anything you have in the PCI slots. Has your audio or Firewire stopped working? Do you have the latest Intel INF file installed?

Gigabyte has a new audio driver - which I installed. The audio was working fine anyway.
I can control my camcorder through the firewire port,
I reinstalled Windows,
Applied all the updates,

And I still have this unknown device.

Ok. I fixed it.

I needed the
Intel® Management Engine Interface Driver

Which I got from http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/con...*%20XP%20Professional&lang=eng

Thanks for posting, I used this fix 4 years after it was posted  

Asus could have saved me a lot of trouble by letting me know that was one driver that was necessary... I had it on the driver disk the whole time. Heck, I don't even have any PCI devices. I'm using the Intel graphics feature on this i3 530.

I lucked up and found one stick of RAM was bad, on the first check, which seems to be my only lasting problem, this time. Not bad... first RMA in the last four builds... if they give me an RMA.

Thanks to all who did the hashing and thrashing to get this correction posted.
