ASROCK H170M-ITX/DL

Device Manager shows yellow exclamation mark on the PCI Simple Communications Controller.

Any suggestions appreciated.

The driver for PCI Simple Communications Controller should have been installed when you installed the Intel Management Engine(IME or ME) driver package found on the correct OS's motherboard download page.

I see there are new ME and INF packages just released for your board. ME v11.0.0.1183 and INF v10.1.1.12. Both dated Nov 27 2015.

1. To begin I would use Instant Flash to update your BIOS to 1.40. Making any needed changes until satisfied.

2. Install the latest INF package, v10.1.1.12.

3. Re-run the ME setup program you used and Uninstall that version. Then afterwards run the new ME package v11.0.0.1183.

4. Reboot and all should be well.
