After a reinstall of W2K (XP doesn't like my SCSI DVD-RAM drive), I have this mysterious "Other PCI Bridge Device" In the Device Manager with this designation: PCI bus 0, device 7, function 3. From what I've researched so far, it's a bogus PCI designation but requires drivers? Any ideas?

MSI K7D Master-L
Dual MP 2800
Adaptec 3210s DC SCSI RAID Controller
Initio 9100U SCSI Controller
SB Live 5.1
3Com 905TX

A search on Google & All the web brought up a number of hits to "other pci bridge device". Some were software related, some were hardware.

Not knowing much about your SCSI controllers or what software is installed............................... Bang Head

My only thought is that your board has 64-bit PCI slots, and perhaps they aren't recognized correctly? I'd check WinUpdate to see if there are driver updates for it.

My MSI Board (with an nForce2 chipset) required a separate update because of the PCI bus, so the problem may be with Windows itself.

Thanks, Knight! I did a seach for the driver (Now that I know what to look for), found and installed it. Problem is gone. Odd thing is, I have ACPI disabled in the BIOS...Strange...

Do you have the latest BIOS? If they haven't updated the BIOS, you may want to contact them about that problem.

I did install the latest BIOS just to see if that would cure the problem but the chipset driver for the Power Management Controller turned out to be the fix. What's also strange is I already had that installed according to the Device Manager... Mad
