What devices have you installed in your system? Common devices installes in PCI slots:
> Lan cards
> Tv tuners
> bluetooth cards
To install drivers you need to know what device it is.
Could you provide a screenshots of the device properties window and device manager?


ps: you could try everest pro. to identify the device.
