Question Unknown device problem

[Khan9987]

Hello. Today my Ethernet was going off and on..so decided to check device manager. In the device manager, on other devices section there was unknown device with yellow exclamation mark added. I don't know what to do...when i go to hardware IDs at details ....there are some text like ACPI/VEN_AMD something like that. What to do?

Try to search those Hardware ID. Check to see if there are any motherboard drivers from man. site you have not installed.

I searched those hardware IDs and a website named Driver Identifier which shows the driver of Asus but I haven't bought anything from Asus brand for my PC and another website called driverpackage which directly showed drivers for windows .......

beware those driver installer places, mostly just trash

Check your mobo man. site again and make sure you have everything installed. If this is an Intel you could try their driver and update tool.

I have AMD installed...

I have AMD installed...

I am not aware that they have an auto tool that works the same way the Intel one does.

Going to ask around on this one.

Well, I got into motherboard manufacturing website.From there I got into system and drivers and I downloaded AMD chipset driver. As I didn't saw any name of it on System information and system driver...What should I do now? Also is it another driver that are needed as my net connection on Ethernet just goes on and off?

One of our moderators @Ralston18 recommended that you try the following:

"
Powershell can be used to find and list device drivers via a Get- cmdlet.

E.g.:

Get-WindowsDriver -Online

Reference:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/dism/get-windowsdriver?view=windowsserver2025-ps

There are a number of examples presented in the link.

You can copy and paste them into Powershell at the PS> prompt.

And use search parameters to help narrow the results.

Late edit:

Get-PnPDevice may prove helpful as well."
