Windows 10: PCI serial port drivers couldn't install

When I went into device manager, I noticed that under "Other Devices", there was PCI serial port, that had a yellow triangle on it, and when I went into properties, it said there aren't any drivers installed for it. I tried the "Update driver" button, but it said it couldn't install the drivers either.

I don't know what the PCI serial port could be for? I assume it's for the wifi and Bluetooth card I have in my system. That could also explain why I occasionally get a BSOD that says DRIVER IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. And 'what failed' was BTHport.sys which I read was a Bluetooth driver.

Is there any way to install the drivers for it? Where can I find them? And will it fix my BSOD problem?

PCI Serial Port not installed Code 28

I have a refurbished HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF 32-bit desktop.
The original OS was Windows 7 Pro, I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro in Feb 2016.
In June I upgraded the original ST3160318AS 160GB HDD with a Crucial MX200 250GB SSD
On Wed July 20, did a clean install per
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...n-install.html
and that went well.
NOTE: The only reason I did the clean install is because I wanted to see how to do that.

However now there is an issue with the PCI Serial Port in Device Manager which wasn’t there before the clean install. I would like to know
--- What is the PCI Serial Port for?
--- Is there a PCI Serial Port driver for my system?





Following is the information about it on my computer.

PCI serial port unable to find driver.

I've had this pc for around 9 months now, Everything works perfect until I noticed the PCI serial port driver has someone been uninstalled.

I'm not sure how this has happened and I haven't noticed any differences in using my computer but something has happened and its been uninstalled.

I've tried to search for a driver through windows update, The manufacturer website and online but still saying ''driver cannot be found''

I honestly don't even know what the PCI serial port is used for and can it damage my pc by not having it installed ?

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before, The pc is custom build but my Processor: Inteli5-2320 CPU 3.00GHZ.

All drivers and everything is fully updated to the latest driver.

Just a little bit of info on maybe my next steps or anything

Thanks.

 

How fix "windows was unable to install your PCI Serial Port" ?

Tried this and it failed. It still has the PCI SERIAL PORT listed as other and that it could not find it online. I am running Windows 10 pro.
