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
