In properties in this device under Device Instance Path -> 'ACPI AWY0001 2&DABA3FF&3'. I tray both version of Windows 7 x64 and x86. And you might do better if you download the drivers from here for Windows 7:.
Same issue here. Win 7 cant get drivers for the unidentified hardware. Googling aroud, it seems to be associated with the AMD Away Mode driver. This seems to be something to do with Win MCE, and may not be supported in other versions of windows.
However I cant find a 64 bit driver compatible with win7 Motherboard is Asus Crosshair. EDIT - I got a driver for it here: I took the first file, the one for vista64. Although my mobo uses the nvidia nforce 590 chipset, this driver does not claim to support the 590, only the the 610 onwards.
I only installed the 'away mode inf', and it seems to solve the device manager problem of unidentified hardware. I guess it works for me now. Same issue here. Win 7 cant get drivers for the unidentified hardware. Googling aroud, it seems to be associated with the AMD Away Mode driver.

Any way, I would not trust of an AMD driver not provided from AMD/motherboard/Chipset manufacturer/Microsoft. It can contain viruses, or belong to another motherboard. As a side note, I researched away mode and it is only available on AMD Live! So if you do not have one of these you will not have the option in your BIOS Disclaimer: Windows 7 is a new operating system and the whole driver store has been reprogrammed; you might wait for another period of time until the retail version is released and/or push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. Thanks for your time and understanding! That is an answer.
I suppose that AMD Athlon X2 3600+ processor should not require an Away mode driver, so I gonna report it as a Windows 7 bug. Same issue here. Win 7 cant get drivers for the unidentified hardware. Googling aroud, it seems to be associated with the AMD Away Mode driver.

I only installed the 'away mode inf', and it seems to solve the device manager problem of unidentified hardware. I guess it works for me now. Afelix wrongly marked it as answer. I should note that that driver does not works on the gigabyte motherboard, (wich is the entire purpose of this thread), so there is no answer to my question. Go into the BIOS and Disable AMD Live that should take care of unknown device in your device Manager With my Windows 7 64bit and ASUS M2N32 WS PRO with AMD Athlon X2 5600+ this solved both an unrecognized device in device manager and (I think) the action center message talking about some problem with Away Mode. On ASUS motherboards, it works the Vista 64 driver.
An ASUS P6T mother I tested, did not installed it at Win7 install, but got the Vista 64 driver from the Mother CD, and it looks like working ok. Also there is an update automatically downloaded by windows update. But this thread is not about ASUS, is about Gigabyte. A Gigabyte M51GM-S2G does not recognize the device with 'hardware id:.AWY0001'. No ASUS driver works, and this problem looks like blocking the calculation of Windows Experience Index, and 3DMark Vantage. The latest NVIDIA nForce motherboard drivers released on 10/2/09 version 15.49 includes the Away Mode Driver (v6.0.6000.114) WHQL. Go to the NVIDIA web site and download the driver for your OS version for 6, 7, 8 and 9 series.
Once the package downloads, execute the package and it will decompress to C: NVIDIA nForceWinVista64 15.49 English (with whatever your OS version is replacing WinVista64). Under this you'll find a folder named AWY. Point the driver update at this folder and it will recognize the driver. I pasted the contents of the AWY folder below. This worked for me.
