unknown devices in Win7 with GA-990XA-UD3
« on: December 18, 2011, 02:58:15 am »
 Hi, I recently installed this mainboard and it's very stable, my overclock without voltage bump goes to 3.64GHz and 2.6GHz on a X6-1055t. The sound-chip is great also, I can use192KHz with headphone surround (on ALC888 I had to use lower resolution).

My problem is:
I installed all but the RAID drivers and I have two unknown devices in device manager and I'd like to know what they are please.
I have an AMD HD5750 with its newest drivers installed, no other hardware. I also tried disabling all non-Microsoft services in msconfig.

Hi and welcome.

One of the devices could well be the HD Audio from the graphics card if you haven't installed all the drivers. Do you have any other devices connected apart from the basic system ?

Thanks, well I did install all AMD drivers, and the ATI HDMI device is installed correctly and available as output device (not plugged in though).
Other than the graphics card there is no hardware.

Before I had a Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 v2.1 and there was no such device I am quite sure. I only changed the mainboard after that.



In my previous post I was in a hurry, I meant 2.6GHz Nortbridge overclock.

 I know sometimes it can be hard to pin down the missing hardware and it can be some quite innocuous device hiding away.

All I can suggest is to try looking through everything and see if there is an UPS, USB hub, or some such component that you haven't noiticed.

Thanks again, I checked the hardware and I ran some commands in Linux:
It looks like lspci shows the two devices in first and third lines?

I had to reinstall Windows 7 because I had stupidly converted my system disk to Dynamic. Now the unknown devices are gone. :)
