Unknown Device

I have an unknown device but I don't know what it is. When I look at the
Properties, Details tab, Hardware Ids it has a Value of ACPI\PNPB006 *PNPB006.

Any ideas what driver I need?

Go to Device Manager, probably under System Devices, seen if there are
any yellow or red flags. Windows should install a driver as part of
the system, but some MB's may want their own.

Do you see a Microsoft driver?

Re: Unknown Device

I was playing with my BIOS. Seems that the unknown device drivers were the
midi port and the game/joystick. I disabled these in my BIOS and problem
resolved. There were no red or yellow flags as you suggested prior to my
disabling these devices.

I guess now I have to find drivers for these two devices. I haven't seen
anything on the ASUS site (I have an A8N-SLI Premium motherboard). It looks
like others there have a similar issue.

It doesn't appear that Microsoft has a driver for these devices on my
motherboard.
