PCI Simple Communications Controller

[Asifh]

I just rebuilt my HP ENVY 15-j145tx Notebook PC to Windows 8.1 Professional but under other Devices, I am having two problems. One is a 'PCI Simple COmmunications Controller' in error with the following descriptions:

Location: PCI bus 0, device 22, function 0

Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C3A&SUBSYS_1963103C&REV_04\3&11583659&0&B0 was configured.

Driver Name: null
Class Guid: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
Driver Date:
Driver Version:
Driver Provider:
Driver Section:
Driver Rank: 0x0
Matching Device Id:
Outranked Drivers:
Device Updated: false

And secondly it is showing one 'unknown device' under Other devices. Although I have checked the entire HP driver site dedicated for this laptop but I can't figure out what device drivers to install in order to resolve these issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi:

This was for the PCI Simple Comms Controller...

This package provides the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI)Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems. TheIntel Management Engine Interface enables communication between thehost operating system and the Intel Management Engine firmware.

The unknown device probably needs this driver...

This package provides HP 3D DriveGuard Software (HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection) for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. HP 3D DriveGuard Software protects the hard drive by parking the heads if the notebook is accidentally dropped, or is abruptly impacted by another object.
