    I noticed this problem while I was trying to connect an external DVD drive on device manager. Do you know what might be the cause of the problem and is there a fix for this? Thanks!

    did you by chance disable the intelppm services in the registry to force your SSD to run at full speed?

    I switched the registry from 3 to 4. Would that be a problem? I switched another registry as welll (followed the SSD tweak thread).

    If you do the registry tweak that's the way it is as far as I know.

    Nope. I don't think I had any problem since the changes were made. I'm just worried because of this warning symbols shown on device manager.

    If battery life/power consumption/overall performance feels right, I wouldn't worry.

    I reverted it back to default setting and it seems fine now. I guess I will try the other option when I have some time to review carefully. Thanks!

    that's what happens when services are disabled.   device manager exists as a tool to relay when devices are disabled, not installed, or fail to start.

    this is perfectly normal.

    the only solution is to re-enable the services or leave them disabled and not worry about it.
