    hmmmm ok i keep seeing PCI Simple Communications Controller on fresh installs and i never know which driver it needs. this time it's on my mini PC. can someone explain how to identify it using hardware IDs and where to get the right dirver safely?? ideally i'd like a method i can reuse next time instead of asking every time :/ thanks! A quick explanation goes a long way.

    lol same thing happened to me open Device Manager > device > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids... the VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxx part identfiies the vendor and device, searching that ID (or checking teh INF files in a driver packgae) tells you which package covers it.

    ok so common mappings: SM Bus Controller usually needs the chipset package; PCI Simple Communications Controller is often the Management Engine interface; Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller often relates to thermal or platform drivers.
