what is PCI standard and a PCI bridge?
I just turned on my computer and suddenly a message for Found New Hardware appeared. It said PCI to PCI bridge. Then the message changed to PCI standard to a PCI bridge.
This is not a new computer, and I didn't installed anything new in it in the last year. I know that kind of messages appear always I connect a new device, like a webcam, a printer, or even when I connect my digital cam to download pictures, but never heard about PCI and why this message at this time??
why did it appear as New Hardware? If it was there before (way before) why it is now labeled as new? Also, i suppose it was working all this years with the correct drives, so, why those drives could be now missing?

Intel PCI Bridges let designers add more PCI devices, or more PCI option card slots, than a single PCI bus can support. These benefits can optimize data throughput in a variety of applications including telecommunication boards, network routers and switches, CompactPCI systems, backplanes, docking stations, data storage, and add-in cards for servers, workstations, and PCs.
Go to Windows Update and let it scan your system.
It might find you're missing the driver's for the PCI bridge and let you download them from there.

Click on scan for updates.
If it finds the PCI Bridge, download and install it.

From what I can guess, because every one always insists on using way too much jargon and hardcore tech terms, and forgets to speak just plain English so people can understand: these PCI Bridges allow for Microsoft or whomever collectively "the designers" talk to your computer remotely, from behind the scenes, and install things onto your computer remotely. This is automatic updates and apps running in the background. Am I correct in this description any hardcore techies?
By the way guys, talking in such hardcore jargon or technical terms doesn t make you cool or smarter than people, it just kind of makes you a dick! Especially in an open forum, where novice and intermediate people are looking to you for answers. Haven t you ever heard "It s rude to speak another language in front of people who don t understand that language, when those people are in the room?" It is, and while I doubt any one here is worried that you re doing so to talk about them in particular (The usual paranoia held by the non-speaking language party in the room), it does make you very bad teachers and sharers of knowledge. If that is or was your true purpose. If the purpose of this blog is for hardcore tech fanatics to talk to other hardcore tech fanatics, about advanced tech subjects, then I am truly sorry for interrupting, and by all means please carry on!

You need to boot into BIOS and disable the onboard graphics there. If you didn't disable the onboard graphics in BIOS, your computer will not recognize the new graphics card you put in.
