First driver I am missing is the RAID Controller driver. Can't I disable this in the BIOS as I don't use RAID? Which setting is it?

I am missing a PCI Device and SM Bus Controller. I already installed the following:

Intel_Serial_IO_V30.100.2221.20_WIN10_WIN11_64-bit

DRV_MEI_Intel_Cons_TP_W11_64_V2240340_20221208R

What else should I install?

Hi,

You need to install the Intel Chipset driver: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1700/M3904/Intel_Chipset_Software_Utility_V10.1.19199.8340_...

It says I have that already installed. In fact, I have a newer version installed.

Try all drivers including VMD from this thread.

Hello, @SightUp .

Have you previously configured RAID on your system?
Please note that disabling RAID could result in data loss only if the data is stored on the RAID array.
In most cases, clearing CMOS will restore the BIOS to its default settings without any RAID configurations.

Thank you.

Nope! Never. The RAID feature doesn't need to be enabled.

I installed the Intel_Chipset_Software_Utility_V10.1.19199.8340_WIN10_WIN11_64-bit and that seemed to take care of the rest.

However, I still have the RAID unknown device in my Device Manager. I tried looking in the BIOS but I am not seeing anything to Disable that. Suggestions?
