HP Z420 Workstation
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Having huge trouble with the drivers for my HP Z420 "PCI simple communications controller".   Have just done a new clean install of win 10 64 after my system stopped booting.   

 

I've had very serious problems lasting months getting this driver to work in the past and have downloaded and run all sorts of drivers from HP and Intel.  Also just ran the "detect my drivers" automated system on this website which found zero problems even though device manager has the below quoted message under properties for this device.  

 

"

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There are no compatible drivers for this device.


To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."
