The 8086 vendor is Intel and A323 and A324 are the specific device ID's. Check the Drivers and Downloads for your system on the Support page using your Service Tag. Try installing the Intel Chipset drivers first and see if they install what you need.
EDIT: There looks to be 3 Intel Chipset drivers for the m17 R2 so do each one and hopefully it does the job.
Hi @Ronster253 welcome to this free user-to-user Alienware laptop discussion forum.
Connect Alienware m17 R2 to the internet, then go to Device Manager, click on PCI Device or SM Bus Controller driver and try to update. If they are not required, delete and Restart (not Shut Down) so that windows will automatically install new drivers from the internet.
Please create Restore point, then run System File Checker utility to find and automatically fix any corrupted system files. Restart (not Shut Down) to save any changes. Repair windows system image using DISM to repair corrupt windows component store. Restart (not Shut Down) to save any changes.
Hi @mattyb3 ... I took your advice and did the 3 available Intel Chipset drivers one at a time from Drivers & Downloads and the Intel Chipset Device Software was definitely the cure! Thank you for the help.
Hi @crimsom thank you for sharing those links as well as your wisdom. I will be creating a Restore point, running System File Checker and hopefully repairing Windows system image using DISM.
