Can you identify the device through process of elimination? If not, uninstall it.

Right click on it and go to properties. Then go to the Details Tab. In the drop down menu select Hardware ID's (usually the next one down in the list)

Go ahead and do a right click on what it says and copy all and then post back here

ACPI\VEN_PNP&DEV_0A08
ACPI\PNP0A08
*PNP0A08
what are they?

^^ Or just google the hardware ID that you just copied. That would give you a good idea on where to start. I'm going to bet though that the unknown ID (assuming you have an Intel build and everything else is working) is one of those 'management devices' that Intel likes to put in their hardware.

It is ATI's own PCIe bus driver. Honestly never heard of that until now. seems to get left behind like this sometimes when updating drivers.

I would right click on it and uninstall, then restart the PC. It should then either 1) Use Microsoft's drivers for it or 2) will update the AMD Driver
