IRQ holder error on ACPI slot

[Kwee]

Hi All!

Recently i came up with a strange problem on my computer. I got a strange message for installing drivers for a new hardware attached. But the fact is that i have not attached any of the hardware to my computer. & in the end when it didn't find the drivers it stuck up with ACPI IRQ holder error, but don't know what does it refer to..?

In device manger I didn't have anything that doesn't have a driver or not identified.

Can Anyone help Please...!

You can go to the event log & can solve by disabling the event.

I had the same thing happen to me about 1/2 hour ago. I haven't installed any new hardware/software. And there are no conflicts in System Information. Additionally, everything seems to be working OK. Maybe an update conflict? Though I haven't seen any updates to anything yet today.
