    Slartybart : I uninstalled GPU Tweak with revo. And I think also all files related to the software. As for HWMonitor, both have always been with the version without installing. When I started with version 1.22, used it in parallel with the GPU Tweak. Maybe it's a conflict ?

    I am now exploring the pc with antivirus, I can be doing my stuff normally ?

    Probably not a conflict. I saw that you tried HWMonitor 1.22 and 1.24, then stayed with 1.22 - I suspect that might be where cpuz123 comes from, not GPU tweak.

    If you could post a list / search for cpuz - that would help too - thanks
    Command Prompt
    dir /a /s *cpuz*.*

    Let's see if your AV detects anything.

    Sure, you can be doing your normal stuff.

    I mentioned USB because often when there is no PCI identification it ends up being a USB device with poor plug-and-play. It is just good to eliminate that as a possibility right off since it is easy to do.

    Antivirus found nothing on the C drive.

    Slartybart : cmd --> dir /a /s *cpuz*.* = file not found (I have two partitions, C and D)

    TVeblen : Disconnect and connect on a port that is unused, nothing. With the mouse only appears the message of installing the device. But there is still the unknown device.
    Printer I have, but is connected to another PC. Both PC's are connected to the same modem.

    Before turning off the PC'll check the BIOS


    mmm ... I'm thinking to restore the entire system from the first day of use. A way to clean all, already has a year of use

    You'll need to do that when you boot up, pres 'Del' on first splash screen.

    No need do that, somebody here will get you sorted. It's ana nnoyance as opposed to a problem.

    Boozad : you gave me the advice to check the bios, no TVeblen I got distracted Sorry
    I already checked the BIOS = Legacy BIOS is enabled.
    Something interesting I found :

    1)It is easier to interact the bios with the mouse.
    2)As for RAM, appears in 1333MHZ ¿?


    I have to retire for some hours

    Disable Legacy USB (if that's what you meant, not Legacy BIOS) upon next reboot and see if the device is still there. As for your is it X.M.P? If so you should be able to choose X.M.P. Profile 1 from your BIOS if it has been set up for it to switch to 1600MHz.

    Thanks, that helps me understand how we got to USB devices. I also like the "easy to do" things.

    Legacy drivers are not plug-and-play, are they? Maybe that's your point

    Any thoughts on just removing the device - I don't think it's integral to the machine.

    Before doing that, I connect all the devices I have ?

    As for the model of RAM would be this : CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R - Newegg.com

    Just leave your usual devices connected. It shouldn't cause any problems at all, I did the same a couple of weeks ago and managed to remove a mystery device and have had no problems since. Worst case you just enter BIOS and re-enable Legacy USB but it won't come to that.

    Try that first while I look into your RAM.
