Question Intel Driver Download

[dforrest]

Can someone please tell me where I can download a driver for "Intel(R) Xeon(R) E3 - 1200/1500 v5/6th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) PCIe Controller (x8) - 1905".

I think that would be a motherboard driver. What motherboard do you have?
CPUs don't have specific drivers.

You could try to load Intel Driver & Support Assistant:

Intel® Driver & Support Assistant

It is one of the only "automatic driver downloaders" that I would recommend using outside some of the specific GPU software out there.

Thanks, I have a Gigabyte Z370XP SLI motherboard. I have tried the Intel Driver & Support Assistant but it does no have any reference to PCIe drivers.

First Xeon CPUs are not supported on that motherboard -- https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370XP-SLI-rev-10/support#support-cpu
That could be your first problem.
Any drivers that you need for a SUPPORTED CPU would be here -- https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370XP-SLI-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver-chipset

Thank you kanewolf. I certainly have Xeon PCIe drivers installed in my system. They are listed by Device Manager by that name. They were either installed when I purchased the computer, new, or have been changed by Windows Update. The are installed in both x8 and x16 versions. My x8 slot is functioning but my x16 slot is not. I have just seen a mistake in my first post here. I am searching for the "Intel(R) Xeon(R) E3 - 1200/1500 v5/6th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) PCIe Controller (x16) - 1901" driver and not the "Intel(R) Xeon(R) E3 - 1200/1500 v5/6th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) PCIe Controller (x8) - 1905" driver.

The web page you gave in the first link includes my CPU (Intel Core i5 8600K), but which of the files listed in you second link, includes the driver(s) I need?

Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If you have an I5 why do you keep referencing "Intel(R) Xeon(R) E3 - 1200/1500 v5/6th Gen" ? You have confused the situation significantly by specifically identifying an Xeon ...

I have refereed to "Intel(R) Xeon(R) E3 - 1200/1500 v5/6th Gen" as this is the information on the PCIe system devices given by Device Manager in Windows 10.

Did you buy this PC in this state? Reuse a Windows installation?
I don't know how you got to the state you are in, but I would bet your only solution will be a clean Windows install ...

Yes, I bought as it is a few years ago. I have made no changes the these drivers. Could Windows Update have changed something?
