There are two devices which can set up PNP devices : The OS ( windows in
your case ) or the BIOS 

Which devices controls the PNP is YOU ( ;-P ) .

Your bios has an option somewhere which read : PNP aware OS 

This is a "switch" with with you select if the BIOS or the OS determines
what is what in PNP 

TRy toggling that softswitch in the opposite state : it can be that the
BIOS / or the OS does a better job 

From your remarks I think You have it on PNP OS , switch to BIOS 

Check what happens : 

Next try setting manual in the BIOS opposite to auto 


anyhow : try this first, and tell as detailed as possible what you see :
imagine we need your eyes in order to assist.

Happy day/night (do not ignore your friend
