15-f024wm
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I had to install a new hard drive in a used 15-f024wm laptop I bought last weekend. No recovery media so I decided to install Windows 7 64 bit from disk. I got most of the stuff working on it from searching the forums here but still have 4 items in device manager that have the yellow exclamation mark.
PCI Encryption/Decryption
SM Bus Controller
Unknown device
Unknown device

Any help you guys can give will be greatly appreciated.

Post back with any more questions. It would help us to have the hardware ID of the devices missing drivers:

 

This is from Dell but explains how to get the device ID for specific devices in the device manager:

Just copy and paste the string of characters here, and example would look like this:

 

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_5917&SUBSYS_225C17AA&REV_07

Thank you for the help. The chipset drivers in the prior post you linked to was what I needed. It eliminated the last 4 exclamtion marks. I searched for hours last night in the forums and never ran across that post.

I must have been getting tired last night. I posted the wrong model number. Mine is 15-f010wm. Your solution still worked though so I am happy. lol I didn't realise the mistake until today.
