    chipset? card reader? Perhaps you can check using the hardware ID.

    One seems to be the accelerometer for the hard drive.. but it does not seem to work because I have an SSD the drivers won't load.. The other one was a battery meter..

    Since you're using an SSD, you won't need the accelerometer, but I'm curious about the power meter. Try installing the chipset driver as it should deal with power management to some extent.
