    I was wondering if there was a program that is capable of figuring out the hardware that isn't known in the device manager. Im not sure what device it could be what so ever. Im figuring it must be something on my motherboard, but my computer has been acting completely fine since reinstalling everything 2 months ago. Thanks in advanced

    Have you tried the freeware utility called Unknown Device Identifier?

    Unknown Device Identifier allows users to identify numerous different types of "unknown devices" [usually the yellow question marked devices which are labeled 'Unknown Devices' in Device Manager]. It reports an extensive and detailed summary with the manufacturer name, OEM name, device type, device model and very often even the exact name/serial number; etc. of these unknown devices.

    Supported OS: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003. You might even run the small freeware utility from CD or floppy.

    You might also try Halfdone Development's freeware utility called: Unknown Devices 1.2 which is available right here at Major Geeks to help you discover unknown devices and figure out what they really are.

    Good Luck!
