Hi jerehall,

As you have re-installed the operating system, I would suggest you to download/install the drivers from Here -> Enter the service tag of your system ->  Select the operating system -> Install the drivers in correct order as given Here.

If the issue persists, please follow the steps below to find Hardware Id of the device with missing driver and share it here. 

• Open Device Manager
• Expand Other Devices and right click the device with missing driver 
• Click on Properties -> Details -> Hardware Id and share it here.

Please reply with the findings. Will take it further.

I've installed the drivers in order but this problem is still persisting.  Here is what was listed for the Hardware ID:

PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_E230&SUBSYS_02FE1028&REV_01

PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_E230&SUBSYS_02FE1028

PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_E230&CC_088000

PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_E230&CC_0880

I believe these match up to the memory card reader which is what windows identified as the problem to begin with but I've installed the Ricoh Card Reader driver multiple times.  Each time it downloads and installs but when I restart, I still have the same issue.

You need this driver

and this one

www.dell.com/.../studio-xps-1645

Did not fix the problem, still showing Base System Device missing a driver.

Hi jerehall,

Thank you for sharing the resolution. I Appreciate your technical expertise.

Please reply if you have any further questions.
