I have noticed yellow question marks at 2 entries in the device manager that I want to rectify,they are under other devices
-other PCI Brigde Device-
and - Video Controller(VGA compatible)-.
There are no details for these devices in the properties tab.
Does anyone know what these are and how to fix the problem?
thanks
Brian

I have discovered the motherboard is a NVIDIA nforce 520 and downloaded the drivers.
But I still have the two entries on the device manager with the question marks-
video controller(VGA compatible)
other PCI Bridge device.

I still cannot find out what the graphics card is,can anyone help any further??
thanks
