Why the system does not accept the Simple Communications PCI controller

Often after reinstalling the software(or install a new one), the computer detects new hardware - the Simple Communications PCI controller. Despite the fact that drivers are already installed on all external and internal devices, the diagnostic program writes that the specified device does not work correctly. This problem occurs on personal computers whose motherboards are manufactured by Intel, and the equipment Simple Communications PCI controller is a product of Management EngineInterface (Intel ME). In this article, we will discuss how to solve this problem.

Causes of the problem

As already mentioned above, such a problem ariseswhen reinstalling the operating system. This is because many manufacturers create separate drivers for each OS. So, if you installed the "Millennium" program on your computer, and you installed XP, many devices (modem, sound card) will most likely not work with the drivers that were supplied on the optical disc with them. Also there are specialized operating systems, for example for gamers version of XP (GAME 2007), in which there are no integrated drivers, because they were removed for simplification. From all of the above, we can conclude that the cause of the failure is either incorrectly installed software, or even its absence. So, in order for our equipment PCI-controller Simple Communications to work, it is necessary to install the driver for it.

Procedure for determining the required software

First of all, it is necessary to establish a concretemodel of your equipment, including the PCI-controller Simple Communications. To do this, find the documentation for the device. If you do not have the papers that were given to you in the store, then carefully inspect the optical drive with drivers: very often manufacturers point to its surface model of equipment. If, however, you suffered a failure, then you need to remove the computer cover and find the marking directly on the device board.

At the next stage we need to find and downloaddriver for PCI-controller Simple Communications. It is best to take the software on the official website of the manufacturer of this equipment, as there you can find the latest version of the required software. In addition, such drivers are always installed correctly, which will allow us to spend a minimum of time and effort in the future. If you did not manage to find the software yourself, you can write to the support of your equipment with a request to send a link to the necessary software.

Software installation

So, we got the necessary softwaresecurity, now it remains to install it. To do this, you first need to remove the idle device from the system. We go to the control panel, then into the system and into the device manager. Select "remove PCI controller" and reboot the computer. After the operating system boots, the new device manager detects uninstalled hardware and asks for a driver for it. You should specify the location where the required software is located and restart the computer.

That's it, the device is ready to go.
