My new P4P800
I have completed my new P4P800 with
P4 3.0 Ghz and 2 x 256 Crucial. I used a ghosted 80g seagate barracuda HD from my P4PE machine, and everything booted up, Win2000 found new stuff, the usual. My only problem is that I have 4 unknown devices (question marks) in device manager listed under "other devices". I've already gone through the CD that came with the P4P800 board. What could these be? And can I "disable" them without worry? Thanks VM |

If all your known devices are listed and working you might delete
these items in question and reboot to see if you get a new device detected notification see if you can figure it out from there. Might delete 1 item at a time per reboot to avoid confusion |

Since you used a ghosted image from another motherboard with a different chipset, it is hard to figure out what is going on. Maybe the best thing to do is to delete the devices and then the PNP operating system will find them again. Maybe this time around you will have a better idea of what they represent as conflicts from old device drivers hopefully will be eliminated. But there may well be better suggestions --- ken p.s. do these devices show up under safe mode? |

All 4 question marks are back in my device manager. Same thing whether deleted one at a time or all at once. |

Under safe mode, only certain basic devices will show up (this is why you can go into safe mode and resolve conflicts that you could not resolve under normal boot mode). I'm not exactly sure which of your devices would show up in regular vs. safe mode, but hopefully someone else more familiar with your particular mobo (I am not, I have the 865 based P4P800Dlx) would be more helpful when it comes to chipset drivers and other embedded mobo devices. Sounds like this is related to the chipset, methinks. ken |

What I meant to say is that your former mobo, had a different chipset (some sort of 845, right?), and when you transfer the ghosted image from that board the operating system is finding a different chipset on the new system than the drivers you have for the old one. So, I think this is what you need, a new set of chipset drivers. Someone else in another part of this thread said essentially the same thing, I think. ken p.s. check out the Asus website and search out the downloads for the P4P800 and you should find the chipset drivers in there somewhere. |

"Musashi" wrote in message om... My thanks to everyone who answered. The 4 unknown devices turned out to the videocapture chipset on my Gainward GE Force4 video card which I had forgotten all about, and the win2k drivers were not up todate. New drivers from the Gainward site cleared my device manager. Aghain thanks very much Musashi |
