What is Base System Device

We just re-formatted a Sony VAIO VGN-NW160J laptop and installed clean version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.

Now we have the exclamation point saying "Base System Device" under device manager.

Any ideas what this is and how we can address it?

You need to install the device driver for new operating system (mainly the motherboard driver).
you will find the drivers here:

Thank you for your kind and expert help.  We were able to identify the device as Ricoh card reader.  We installed that and we're good to go. Your input is much appreciated.
