AMDA00 interface driver problem causing further problems

[canemichael97]

I have a custom build pc with a asus z97 motherboard. On boot i would get error messages saying driver failed to start. After closing these windows explorer would fail to work and programs would not open, also after these dialogue boxes are closed the sound does not work also. After booting into safe mode and opening device manager i can see that listed under system devices is the AMDA00 interface driver with the yellow exclamation mark. I have no AMD components in my PC. Is this what is causing my issues?

Any help/ideas is greatly appreciated
Many thanks, Mike

Short: Disable it in device manager until it has been fixed.

Do you have ASUS AI Suite installed? It's part of that, namely ASUS Probe (I think).

I do not have it installed it came with my card but i never installed it as i have no use for it

What card? It's the motherboard utility.

oh no i have a asus gtx 770, my board is a asus z97k but i dont not have that software installed, sorry i got confused on my last post the software came with my board but was never installed

It's definitely something to do with the motherboard, it's possible Windows could have installed a defective driver for it through Windows Updates. Can you open Device Manager and expand System Devices and see if you have any :warn: signs showing.

Only on that one driver i have disabled it and trying to see if it is working better now, haven't had any problems yet

It`s not an AMD component, it just happens to use those letters. Actually it`s AMDA
I have it, with no issues.
I don`t have any Asus software installed either, but I did use the disc for drivers.
I guess it`s just there in case you ever use the sensor probes. But I see no reason to.

Asus Z87-Pro AMDA00 Interface driver...

I just did a clean install on my Sabertooth Z87 on an Intel 530 SSD.

I checked and AMDA00 Interface was not listed, I put in the Asus driver disc to install the Intel Network drivers and bam AMDA00 Interface shows up in Device manager just like that. So it has nothing to do with any drivers, I`m not even connected to the internet and it appeared as soon as I put the Asus MB disc in.

I'm thinking AMDA00 Interface is installed as a prerequisite for A1 suite. Even if you don't install the suite you get the AMDA00.

Exactly, it's part of the system monitoring for temperatures and such (ASUS Probe as I mentioned in my first post in here). Here's my Windows 10 clean install with no ASUS drivers or utilities applied.
