I'm sorry for the really looong delay.

I'm using Windows 10 Pro (version 1607 build 14393.576) with StarTech PEXHDCAP60L driver 1.1.0.167 (15.08.2016).

No, my goal is not to have all five of these card working at the same time. I just tested all of them to see which one does not work either. Each card was tested in all PCIe x1 slots as a single one and with all other possible configurations (with and without gfx card too). Yes, I cleared CMOS settings also and it made no difference.

It's important for me to activate especially a PEXHDCAP60L capture card...

Here is the part of the listing from System information: http://voy.pigwa.net/other/list.txt

I found a two strange events in the Device manager. It says that two PEXHDCAP60L sub-devices couldn't be migrated and that both of them had a strange Last Device Instance ID - as an USB device (?):


Device PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7160&SUBSYS_12AB7517&REV_03\6&14f4dd07&0&000800DB could not be migrated.

It seems that it's someway connected with the drivers for MediaTek USB drivers which I use with my Ulefone Future phone. But how?

I found also that there is a problem with Intel(R) 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset Family PCI Root Port #20 - A16A driver version 10.1.1.38 and with all previous versions. The PEXHDCAP60L uses a connection with this Z170 chipset's device. Maybe this is the main reason why my capture card doesn't work...


Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A16A&SUBSYS_A16A1849&REV_F1\3&11583659&0&DB had a problem starting.
