Asus MB found new hardware pci device
M3ksh33p
Installed new HDD and mb is asus A7N8X-X windows finds "new hardware" that isnt there opens wizard that cant find driver for device.
I have nothing in PCI slots, "unknown pci device" has to be IRQ screwup somewhere but everything works except for service pack 3 for XP... after install it hangs on boot screen , will not boot . this is a IDE pc !!! THE INTELL ENTRY IN REG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM. ???

Thanks for the suggestions . I did have the driver cd for the motherboard, BUT I found updated drivers from their site.. And I Am getting same problem . Looking through the new drivers I found where they added a "FIX" for this .. but for some reason its not working. I installed the updated ones twice to make sure .
It basically had a system32 run file to set it up with no driver . -
Did you try to install the driver manually ?
1) Press and hold windows key + pause
2) go to hardware tab
3)open up device manager
4) locate device with a yellow "!" and right click and go to properties
5) goto driver and click update driver
6) select install from a list select first option and check box include this location in search
It should find it and install (hopefully)
or repeat same but use don't search, i will chose the driver to install but then you have to tell what device is it is
Can you show me the fix to know what it is related to ? Do you have any sound on the computer ??
THANKS ill will try to help you -
Yes I have sound and everything else seems to be working fine. I have the "unknown PCI" disabled in device manager the only place it shows an error is in the system scan an tht shows a "problem device" . I dont think there is a driver for this specific it should be covered with the IDE driver.
here is what I found ...in the SMBus folder -

See the NO_DRV and this readme is a setup information file that opens with note pad. I was going to manually put this in the system32 folder ... then I chicken'd out because pc is running perfect , no errors on boot running a normal startup and no crashes !
I am thinking now the "Asus Probe" was giving me kernel errors on boot up so I uninstalled it , but would the kernal error on a "motherboard temp monitor" cause service pack 3 to lockup in the windows load screen??
