Re: BSOD/Windows see new device

The only pci.txt I can find has 0 kb. :(

Close the Winzip program and look for the file C:\pci.txt. Is the
device list still empty?

The list was empty??? Are you sure the command ran properly? Did you
download the correct devcon version? Did you enter the command correctly:

devcon find pci\* >pci.txt

If you didn't put the \* switch in there the list will be empty.

Thanks for the reply John John. I was able to open the pci.txt list but it
was empty.So when I boot up i just go into device manager and uninstall the
device and it seems to be fairly stable until I play a game then I get random
BSOD concerning device drivers :(

Go here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272/ and download the right
devcon utility for your computer (most likely you are on 32-bit
Windows). Place the Devcon utility in your System32 folder. Open a
command prompt and issue the following commands, pressing <Enter> after
each line:

cd\
devcon find pci\* >pci.txt

After the command runs look in the root folder (most likely C:\) for the
file pci.txt and see if you can't root out the list to find out what the
device is. If you are having difficulty identifying the device clean up
the list from known entries and post the unknowns here and someone may
be able to tell you what the device is. If, after posting the entries
here, you really can't find the what the problem device is you can
always disable the device and see if the symptoms go away.

Hello, I have a fairly new pc that has been working fine until just last week
or so. I have a been getting a BSOD that is device driver related AND every
time I boot up i get a windows message it has found a NEW PCI device. I have
a PCI-E vid card that is working fine and a SoundBlaster audio card that
works fine as my only devices. I have went through every single folder on my
mobo installation disk to try and install the correct file with no luck. I
have updated my BIOS sucessfully but still have this silly error. I took a
screenshot:

Any ideas?
