1. Dell Pci Data Acquisition Driver Windows 7

So I have a custom built gaming PC and have run into issues as a result of a particular driver apparently not being installed.
The culprit apparently is the 'PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller' according to Device Manager. I have tried finding downloads for this driver and have used the preset 'Update driver software' function but it only returns errors.

Below is an image of how Device Manager is showing the driver as not being installed:

Both PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller refer to Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework, also known as DPTF. The main function is to help enable thin, quiet, and cool platform designs. To solve the driver issue you need to download drivers provided by your laptop manufacturer.Is it important? This page contains the driver installation download for PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller in supported models (HP Laptop 15-da0xxx) that are running a supported operating system. RE: 7140, Windows 10, and the PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller Jump to solution OK, for anyone else who did a clean install of Win 10 and wants to clear this up here is what I discovered.

Also I have used the Intel Driver Update Utility Installer and manually downloaded the driver as well as using a specific driver installation CD that came with my mobo. None of them have worked as all have returned errors in the installation process:

Also Windows Update registers that this driver is missing and queues it for update -when I click 'Install Now' for said update the window just hangs on the loading symbol next to the button which is then grayed out and if I click anywhere on that window I just get a Windows chime sound. It appears as though it also gets stuck on trying to install as when I look at the update process in task manager it is not using any of my network, CPU or disk -probably because it runs into the same error of trying to update a driver that is not actually there.

Dell Pci Data Acquisition Driver Windows 7

As such I am kind of stumped as to what to do given that none of the Intel software links/downloads are able to successfully install the driver and that various update and installation utilities all fail to do so as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
