PCI drivers generally come bundled with the chipset drivers, but sometimes, the drivers can go missing or corrupted, or the Device Manager may find it difficult to load them. Moreover, some other drivers mandatory to run the PCI drivers may also be missing, causing the issue. Whatever the cause, this article will help you to load proper chipset drivers and other necessary drivers to eventually solve the PCI driver conflict.
How to Fix PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller Driver Conflict?
PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller are the drivers for the whole PCI data acquisition system, including dedicated hardware and software. The system works to convert various real-world analog data to processable digital data. In order to fix the problem with it, you will have to download the correct PCI driver for your computer. To do so, first, you will have to find out the model/base number of your device/motherboard.
Go to System Information (Windows + R>msinfo32) on your computer and note the base number of the PC or the system model number of your laptop.
Now, the following sections will help you to download and install the drivers for your device and will guide you through other solutions as well:
Install Correct Drivers
As mentioned already, the right PCI drivers can fix the problem of the discussed driver conflict. This can be done by updating your computer with the correct chipset driver. To replace your current chipset and PCI driver with the new driver set, you can follow the steps below: Some systems using Intel’s Driver to manage fans/cooling systems have been noted as facing problems. The driver may be missing or not properly installed. So, you will have to download the Intel® Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Driver for your computer from your Manufacturer’s site and add it from the device manager. As we have already mentioned about searching the model number of your system, you can proceed to
Download Missing Drivers
There may be other drivers missing on your computer, and finding them manually can be a tedious task. Instead, you can use Driver support tools to scan such drivers and suggest what to install automatically. You can go with the two methods listed below:
Using Intel Driver Support
You can download Intel Driver & Support Assistant to detect missing and outdated drivers. The tool automatically runs in the background for the scanning part, and upon initiating to check for drivers, it will redirect you to Intel’s website and list all the required drivers for your device. So, to use the tool, follow the steps below:
OEM Specific Tool
Many manufacturers provide their own tools dedicated to driver support and assistance. Such tools may also be already installed on your computer. Or, you can search for the tool provided by your Manufacturer online.
Update Windows
Drivers can run into compatibility issues with the version of Windows that you’re currently running. Standalone drivers are tried to fix by manufacturers with updates, but some embedded drivers can only be updated by upgrading Windows itself (if updates are available). The telemetry Aggregator driver that manages the discovery of telemetry services for PCIe can show issues. Since it’s natively supported by Windows after version 1909, merely a Windows update can resolve the issue. So, you can follow the steps below to check available updates and download and install them:
Uninstall Latest Updates
If no Windows update is available and being patient for the next update is no option for you, try to uninstall the latest cumulative update from Windows. This might help fix the Telemetry Aggregator and other drivers’ compatibility issues with the new Windows updates. You can follow the Steps mentioned below to uninstall the updated files: Restart your PC and check if it resolves the issue.
