Windows 10: "PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller" & "Dynamic platform & thermal...

Both "PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller" & "Dynamic platform & thermal framework driver" show a yellow exclamation point on my Toshiba L55W-C5220.


I have uninstalled them and restarted. But they reappear with the exclamation.


The message in "Device status" is that "The drivers for this device are not installed There are no compatible drivers for this device."

"Update driver" does not find any on a web search.

The Toshiba site does not list them on the support site for this computer.


What do I need to do to fix this?

:)

 

PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller ?

First Google result:

Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Processor Participant Driver driver free download for windows - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. - S551LB (S/1.0- SKU:ASUS-Ultrabook)

There are many files there. I see one is from Alienware (Dell).

Yoga 2 11, device: PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller
anyone know what this is? have tried every ddriver I can find that MIGHT be the device, so far no luck.

 

PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller ?


yep - that is the key, and nowhere in the documentation/site/drivers for the device [yoga 2 11 haswell] are the terms associated... DPTF =~ PCI Data Acquisition... At any rate, it now appears to me that this is the source of a LOT of consternation in the hybrid zone, with the street wisdom being 'turn it off and do not use'. Thankfully, the one thing Lenovo did right was put in a BIOS switch to Enable/Disable.

For help to anyone else that searches and lands here: Apparently there are incorrect drivers on Lenovo's page for this model 20428. They have mixed/mingled drivers for Baytrail platforms with Haswell. This particular model is a Haswell based board, i3-4012Y, but the other Haswell models are mostly yoga "Pro" series. the Intel DPTF package on the model page does not install correctly, but it will "install". The device remains unfazed... without a driver. For those who persevere and find a driver that will pickup and install the device "correctly", they regret it. Throttling occurs early/often along with other issues, resulting in more hunts for solutions, the endgame of which is above: remove, turn off, disable. A little less battery life in turn for full power from the platform, speedy performance, no sudden unexpected shutdowns.
