    Just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on my L501X. After installing what I thought were all the necessary drivers, Device Manager is showing two yellow flags.
    Under Other Devices>PCI Simple Communications Controller, and the other is labeled Unknown Device.
    Can someone tell me what drivers these are referring to? Thank you.

    I was able to fix the PCI Simple Communications Controller issue with a driver reinstall. But I have no idea what the Unknown Device might be. Anyone?
