ASUS K8V-MX and VIA 4 in 1
Have just got a ASUS K8V-MX for an upgrade..although could get a newer board.. After XP installation, every fired up properly except for an unknown device... knowing this is some missing VIA function, installed VIA 4-in-1.. but on restart, the screen gone blank... reinstalled xp without VIA 4-in-1, every works fine again...tried several times and given up...any help appreciated...
System: K8V-MX with 500 MB-400 Ram, onboard VGA and no other daughter boards. Bios version 0211, original XP version

Look in device manager to see if there is a yellow exclamation point next to anything. Let us know the description of the device it is next to.

It just showed Unknown device and also in otherquestion mark it showed Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller.. when I clicked the Unknow Device, it told me that hte unknown device's location is on PCI standard ISA bridge and that the driver has not been installed.. I have not had the VIA 4 in 1 installed because once installed, the screen will go blank when I restart...
Thanks for your reply.... forgot to add that my CPU is AMD 3000+

If the PC is working with the standard XP/ VIA drivers, I would leave it. As far as the Unknown Device, I have those on several of my PC's as well. My newest PC has the same kind of device on the same PCI/ ISA bridge, and I'll be dammed if I can find a driver for it. Windows can't either. But, everything on the PC works fine, so I just ignore it. The PC also runs just fine with no problems. Just my 2.75 cents worth. Chris.

Heres a piece of sofware that may find what the unknown devices are. I have not used this but maybe worth a try.

Thanks Chris and Boyblue,
I can live with the unknown device... but there are also other problems without the VIA 4-in-1...finally, I got the problem solved by installing SP2 and got hold of the original installation CD... after that I reinstall the VIA 4 in 1..everything work fine. search of new hardware helped to install more than 10 new devices... but the unknown device still there...at least, solved most of the problem...
Thanks again
