Well... what PCI cards do you have installed? My guess is that you might have a sound card or a video card that has multiple functions (such as a game port on the sound card or video capture for the video card), and you only have drivers installed for one of the functions.

It could be alot of things, A PCI card, PCI to CPU bridge, PCI to ISA bridge, PCI to PCI bridge. Did you update your mother boards chipset drivers?

Try installing one of these and see if it can tell what it is

My point is that if you have a card that performs multiple, and you let windows install the drivers for you, it's possible that it didn't locate drivers for one of the other functions.

When you go to the device manager and look at the properties of the unknown device, what is it's 'location'?
