    Unknown Device in device manager

    Hey

    All my current devices are accounted for in my device manager but then theres another device saying "unknown device" ..under the "other devices" catergory.

    Don't know what it is and i can't seem to do anything about it. Updating it does nothing, no information in properties to work out what it is ...any suggestions on what i can do to diagnose the issue?

    Re: Unknown Device in device manager

    Double click on it and go to the details tab and select the hardware ids it will give you a string of text

    edit, just noticed you said that it has no info :/
    Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?

    Re: Unknown Device in device manager

    Do you have any USB devices plugged in? Keep the device manager windows open and unplug each USB drive until the unknown device disappears.

    If do not have any USB plugged in then check your chipset drivers are installed and any other motherboard drivers as Macadee mentioned.

    Re: Unknown Device in device manager

    You should always have a details tab for gives the device ID, sub ID and other stuff. It's under the 'hardware ids' in the dropdown.

    Re: Unknown Device in device manager

    In the past when that has happened to me, it is a driver that hasn't been installed.

    I would go to the motherboard maker's website, make sure you have installed all the drivers for your m/board.

    Re: Unknown Device in device manager

    Apparently it's something to do with Asus AI Suite II. Apparently should be under AMDA0\ somewhere.

    So assuming you've got an ASUS board maybe a lone file somewhere for the ASUS drivers?

    Re: Unknown Device in device manager

    Apparently it's to do with the AMDA00 interface.

    See here (find on page "PNP" unless you like reading )
    And here on point 8)

    So if you installed from the ASUS disc? Could be left over registry entry or some file which was installed when you installed any ASUS drivers.

    Re: Unknown Device in device manager

    Might just be a .cab file on the loose signing a driver that isn't actually there if it isn't affecting your PC may as well just leave it.

    Look into the event logs, if your system can't find a driver it'll give you somewhere to look

    Re: Unknown Device in device manager

    I had that on my Asus Z87-A. If you go to Asus's website and look up the drivers for your board, it is listed as "ACPI Driver". Download and install that and all should be well. It's always better to download drivers from the manufacturers website anyway as they will be more up to date than the ones on the disk.

    Re: Unknown Device in device manager

    Google results points it as "Asus COM" service and a suggestion to fix this is to insert your motherboard installation DVD and leave it to autorun, it should automatically install it. :/
