X299 Chipset Drivers

[Joslyn Moreci]

Ijust reinstalled windows 11 on my X299 Deluxe motherboard. The problem is that I have all these "Base System Device" items listed in device manager and I can't find the corresponding drivers. How do I find the current drivers on the intel website? I tried their "Driver Support Assistant" But that didn't list ANY drivers.

Within the last 3 months, I've had to swap out this motherboard with an identical backup motherboard. I've added a new graphics card, and then I update the bios. The system was mostly fine until the bios and all of a sudden things went bad, and quickly. Ultimately, I had to reinstall the OS.

Try -x299-chipset/downloads.html for the chipset driver. It is tagged as being for both Windows 10 and 11. The chipset drivers should be generic, for all X299 boards, i.e. there shouldn't be any concern about PRIME vs ROG, etc.

If you'd rather get it from ASUS, the PRIME X299-DELUXE II Downloads & ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore Downloads have a more complete set of drivers for Windows 11. The core X299 stuff should be the same for both PRIME and ROG. That ROG board is, I think, one of the newest X299 boards they produced. The driver most likely to be different is the audio driver, so I wouldn't try to use the ROG audio driver on the PRIME board. The other drivers (Intel platform/chipset drivers, LAN, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc) should be the same where your board has the same or similar devices.

Even on the downloads for the newer X299 boards, many of the drivers are a bit outdated and might not be the best thing on 22H2. They might, however, be useful in getting the system up and running, before updating to more current versions. MoKiChU's drivers should be much more up to date (and probably the latest available).

This a a X299 chipset if that matters. After a clean, new install of Windows 10 22H2, I went to the Asus website and downloaded and installed all the latest drivers. Everything went as expected and there were no errors in Device Manager.

I have installed all the latest drivers for my motherboard from the Asus website. The problem still persists with many "Base System Devices" listed in the Device manager. I have compared the Device Manager in my new install with the Device manager in my old install (which I still have available on another drive). The devices which are not being recognised correctly are related to the "Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor P family" entries. Please see the attached screenshot with my install on the left and my new install on the right.

Since your system seems to be working fine and the issue is after a clean installation of Windows 11, we would like to confirm if you have contacted Microsoft for support regarding this matter. Also, we found a thread from the Microsoft Support Forum with some recommendations regarding a similar issue.

I have since down graded to a clean installation of Windows 10 with the above latest drivers installed and I still have the "Base System Devices" listed in the Device Manager. It is not a hardware issue as I have been running the same system without the problem for several years now and the issue only appeared after I upgraded the operating system recently. I will try downgrading to the previous version of the chipset driver over the weekend.

We are glad to know that the issue is not present when downgrading the chipset driver. Since the issue seems to be related to the latest Driver available on the Asus Website, the best course of action is to report this problem to Asus support since this is a driver-related issue and can be caused by their driver customizations.

I then tried to install the previous "Intel Chipset Driver" just to make sure and it asked me if I was sure I wanted to downgrade so I cancelled the install. That confirmed my thinking that the latest drivers had been installed. The Intel Driver & Support Assistant also said "No supported driver or software updates are available for your system." So I assumed the chipset drivers were all installed OK.

It is important to mention that motherboard manufacturers provide Chipset drivers. Intel DSA does not provide Chipset Drivers, if the motherboard or system is manufactured by third-party companies, contact the system manufacturer for the latest updates and technical support information.

I noticed right away that booting the computer can take between 50 seconds up to 30 minutes. Sometimes it took 5 minutes, sometimes it took 15 minutes, iow this was randomly. After a couple of days i downloaded Windows 10 (2004) from MS and did a bootable stick. Everything installed as expected. I had downloaded drivers from HP and manually installed Chipset drivers, Storage drivers, LAN drivers and Audio drivers.

The same thing happened again, very long booting times randomly varying between 50 seconds up to 30 minutes. Now i started to clock everything, iow using a watch to see how long each boot took trying to find some kind of pattern. When Windows eventually loaded i used the Event Viewer to see what actually happened. It turned out that Windows that time had stalled for more than 15 minutes when loading iaStorE.sys. This driver is installed when installing the Storage drivers downloaded from HP. Uninstalling Intel(R) Virtual Raid on CPU from the computer and rolling back the driver for the Intel storage controller in the Device Manager solved the issue to 100%. The computer boots under 60 seconds every day.

I did install Windows 10 (2004) two days ago. No Storage drivers installed this time though. Since i am curious (stupid?) i made a Restore point and installed the Storage drivers again. Now i noted that the Storage controller gets the name Intel(R) C600+ /C220+ series chipset SATA RAID controller. Before installing the Storage drivers this time the name of the controller was Intel Chipset SATA RAID Controller. (The Storage driver soft pack is: sp99573.exe)

I think this ended up in the wrong forum, it was intended for the "HP Community > Desktops > Workstations > Business PCs, Workstations and Point of Sale Systems" instead of here. Moderator, feel free to move!

I am totally aware of that, now and when i bought the computer. I have already mentioned that i have the Xeon version and the soft pack i mentioned is not the chipset drivers as you say it is, its the storage driver: Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (sp99573.exe)

are you using multiple ssd's in a raid configuration? if not then the VROC feature does not come into play as the driver does/will not load and only the normal RST driver is active the xeon motherboards chipset is a superset of the i7 motherboards chipset

i have never seen a RST driver cause a pause in loading the OS, you might want to look at the windows logs and also do a clean instal without ANY other software or drivers loaded note the load times and then add drivers one by one and note the result, and then do the same one by on for your applications
