I have installed every driver that goes on to my computer but everytime I restart I get a finding new hardware message on startup. I have no PCI devices at all, I don't have anything in my PCI slots on my Motherboard. If it is a bios issue, I don't know which pci device to shut off because most of them are off, the only ones are on are the ones that I need. Also is there a sure fire way to identify drivers? I tried using microsoft update.....but of course it didn't find anything. Anyway Please Help, Thanks.
 
You say you have no PCI devices, but you also say most are off except the ones you need. Please clarify.
What hardware is (Xp?) detecting?

Is this on a new computer or just start happening now? Can we have some more background info plz.
Thx
 
Oh sorry, PCI devices I meant the PCI devices in Bios. Like you can enable and disable the USB 2.0 on the MOBO, Firewire, Onboard Sound, etc. I only enabled the USB 2.0 and the Firewire, but even when I disabled every PCI device in bios and restarted it still had the new hardware found message. I am using Windows 2000 Pro not XP. It is detecting a PCI Device, Device Type: Other Devices, Manufacturer: Unknown, Location: PCI Bus 0, Device 31, Funtion 3(Can this deal with IRQ?) This is the same computer, all I did was buy an 80gb Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 Series Hard Drive and switched it with my 120 GB Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 Series Hard Drive and is using this one as my primary and using the 120 as a slave(could this affect the drivers).
 
I was having this trouble with a GIGbyte MOBO until I flashed the BIOS ith an update.
Apparently this was an issue.

Peace

Well I updated my bios, and ummm good and bad news happend. the good news the hardware was found and is not unkown, the bad news my serial ata doesn't work no more...I'm using IDE now, I mean it's not a big deal, but this is kind of a good thing too cause now I can sell my serial ata convertors for 40 bucks. I kind of won and lost in this situation but thanks for the help, now all i'm confused about is my Graphics Card Problem...
