Win 10 64 bit Running 'All Repairs' 18hrs and counting (SOLVED somehow?)

<< < (5/5)

Boggin:
Well under the Drivers list you can reinstall all of those and with AMD, the Graphics drivers may also include those for the IDE controllers, but see how you go with those.

I'm not sure about the second list but I wouldn't try updating the BIOS just yet.

Dick Bailey:
I've at last resolved the my device issues you'll be pleased to here Boggin.

With you support by Reply #11 I'd got Win 10 reinstalling hopefully resolving my BSOD problem.  But this didn't cure my other concern which I described in Reply #5 as, "Four groups of drivers showed a triangle warning symbol but each driver said it was working fine."

While previously I just listed the Devices in Device Manager with Warning Triangles on them and which I'd hoped would also be resolve by reinstalling Windows, and swapping drivers, etc.' what I didn't do was include a screen shot with my posts to help you, so I've attached it below.  You'll see I've expanded the device groups of concern.  My concern, as I said was that I could see on each one a Yellow Warning Exclamation triangle superimposed over the icon, the yellow base of the triangle being particularly noticeable.

Having now installed the HP recommended drivers and also applied subsequent updates I still see no change, though the Device Status for each continues to say "This device is working Properly".

Today, I took a different approach and searched Google for "Device Manager AND Warning Symbols AND 'This device is working properly.'" and quickly found someone on TenForums with an identical issue.

In another thread, I showed a screenshot of my Device Manager with yeoow triangles against the Display Adapter and the Storage Controllers:

When I expand any of those items, there are no error codes and they all say 'This device is working properly.' I presume there is nothing to worry about but why are the warnings there?

The reply to this made no sense to me, "Your link does not show any yellow triangles at all.", until I read the next article in my Google search results, by SuperUser.  This article talked about chips, "Chips"!!.  But on reading it I suddenly saw everything clearly, have a look.

Sure enough on closer examination it's suddenly dawn on me that my problem was my eyesight, not my computer, They aren't warning triangles at all, they are mini PCI Boards.  :omg: :shy: :rolleyes: :shocked:

I'm sorry for the 'wild goose chase Boggin and thanks for your patience.

Boggin:
Well that clears something up for me as well, as I've seen those on mine and wondered what they were :)

BSODs are usually caused by driver problems but can also be caused by bad files, so hopefully the repair install will have resolved your BSODs, but if they are caused by a program, which a repair install doesn't touch, then if you still get BSODs, then further investigation would be needed.

It's strange though that Windows BSOD troubleshooter snagged those drivers.
