base system device
PCI serial port
PCI simple communications controller

The install was recent, about a month ago. I'm looking for drivers now.

Here's the page I found,

You might want to start with the chipset,

My second link above is for your model and covers 7 Pro64bit among many others.

Did you ever install the chipset driver?

It is usually a precursor for other drivers to be installed.
