So I'm probably being dense and missing something obvious here.... but where exactly are the Marvell ATA driver & PCI chip driver for Gigabyte's Z87 motherboards? Did they seriously just forget to list them on their website?

At least for the Z87 UD5H board there are no drivers for either that I see, and Windows isn't able to install either device for use atm.

PCI driver you need to install Intel ME Driver, it will be what the PCI simple communications driver in device manager is.

The show up under the UD3H listing, so probably just a bug in the web site : http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4481#dl

Ah, thanks a bunch! I looked under I think it was UD4s and they were also missing any Marvell links. (Or maybe not, the UD4 also has the links, was some other model)

PCI driver you need to install Intel ME Driver, it will be what the PCI simple communications driver in device manager is.

Good catch... I reinstalled it just to be sure and the PCI device error finally went away.

That said, I'm still getting a whopping 6 USB driver errors in the event log every time I boot the system, but Device Manager shows everything's fine. Is this because the Intel ME driver has a startup delay before it initializes the port drivers?

yes i think so, you are using windows 8 or 7? There is a latest BIOS just released today, a BETA, it had some USb changes in the BIOS, like you could change the ports and stuff.

However did you also intall the Rensas driver? Might want to try re-installing it. IDK why there is a rensas driver since it is just a hub and the driver is for a controller, but maybe it will help?
