Alienware M17x-R3 Drivers
Hi All
I have been having problems with an unknown device for quite some time.
Just re-formatted my Alienware M17x-R3 to Windows 8 Pro, Upgraded to 8.1 (Have been running Win 8 since Beta Testing) and still have an unknown device.
Id Tag details...
ACPI\VEN_CPL&DEV_0002
ACPI\CPL0002
*CPL0002
This is a 64bit system, 16GB Ram, Intel i7-2720QM CPU, Intel HD 3000 + Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M Graphics.
Hope someone can help identify this stubborn unknown 'Other devices' issue.
Thanks in Advance
Roy.
PS.. I am aware this laptop doesnt have support for Win 8, but it works perfectly 99% of the time, but with occasional once/twice a week Driver_Power_State_Failure crashes

It should be the onscreen display driver see here:

Try taking the Windows 8.1 driver from the M17x-R4:
