Can anyone identify this hardware

[grrl]

I have an Asus A8N5X motherboard with a SCSI card, Audigy2 ZS, card reader and Creative modem installed. All work fine. However, there is one unknown device in Device Manager I can't find a driver for.

Unknown Device Identifier gave me this report:

Unknown device
ISA 6
PCI standard ISA bridge [Unknown]
Chip: Nvidia Corp
Detail:
Chip Vender- Nvidia Corp
Device - PCI standard ISA bridge
PnpID - VEN_10DE&DEV_0050&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_A3
Vender - (Standard system devices)

I've tried the Asus driver CD, Windows and all other peripherals, but nothing has identified it.

Does anyone know what this is?

This must be a very old mobo still having an ISA->PCI bridge! Anyways, I would just delete or disable it if it bothers you. But this bridge driver should have been a part of the mobo cd driver. Have you checked the mobo homepage.

No, that's what's confusing me. This is an nforce4 board with PCIe.

I've checked the manual, but there is nothing in it.

I believe the mystery device is the SMBus dealiebob. The drivers for it are on the Asus CD-ROM. Try doing an "Update Driver" on that item, and aim it at the \Drivers\Chipset\WINXP_2K\SMBus\ folder on the CD for the drivers, and see if that settles it.

I'll try that again even though I integrated those drivers with nLite on my setup disk, and re-ran the driver installation after install.

I know the device driver exists somewhere, because during my last install I had no unknown devices.

The PCI to ISA Bridge should use this driver file that's a part of WinXP:

\Windows\System32\Drivers\Isapnp.sys

That didn't work.

That file already exists in the folder.

Strange thing. I also have the same unknown device on my nForce 570Ultra rig. And i always had it. I didn't have time to snoop arround it so i don't know what that is.

grrl,

I'm runnning that same board at home. I'll take a look when I get home from work...but I've never noticed that problem before. I'll let you know what I find.

good luck,

Chappie

Try uninstalling your Nvidia WDM drivers and rebooting. If this is the problem, then update those drivers.

 

[grrl]

Thanks Chappie.

I'll try that this evening, AmphibSailor.

I have a similar board the A8N-E and I Just put in the driver CD and the unknown device went away It was a System device to be exact "ATK0110 ACPI Utility

I uninstalled and then reinstall, but the device remains unknown.

No, that device is loaded. I took care of that a few months ago.
