I now know what the device is and have found a temporary solution on my system.

The mark in Device Manager is caused by the USB Bridge driver and has to be resolved 
by a BIOS update not yet available from the MoBo manufacturer.  The conflict also 
affects proper function of USB devices on my system.

I have been able to get game performance increased alot by disabling ACPI under "Computer" 
in Device Manager.   This also has removed the mark.  I am awaiting an update for 
the BIOS.   I have read of others who have been able to rectify the problem thru 
a BIOS update.
