New 7 install hd graphics driver and sm bus problems
Well so far so good on my fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium. After getting ISO and doing hash check, I installed via DVD. Set bios to UEFI OS with compatability and got a nice GPT partician. Did all windows 7 updates. I never got a USB 3 driver so I ent with the intel latest version and it went well Then I set BIOS to full UEFI with no compatability and all is working very well. File transfers from herd drive to USB 3 range from 30 to 100 MB/s depending on file type and if files are being scanned. From USB 3 to HD average 70 to 200 MB/s again depending. Much better than ever before. I took GregRocker,s advice and did not mess with any chipsett utillity. Just left it all windows 7 stock except for the USB3 drivers from Intel. After I got all settings as I like and all updates and basic tools and software installed. I did a backup and system image to another harddrive and wow. What used to take over an hour was done in ten minutes. The only isseus i have are SM BUS no driver and in other devices tab in device manager, and the Intel graphics 4000 has a few issues. If I go to a lower reselution 1080 x 768 I get a darker screen with dim colors in some scaling options like center image, or scale full screen, or keep aspect ratio. Also the native resolution for my Samsung is 1920 x 1080 but it makes everthing so small I cant read the text and my pictures seem to be not as wide and too tall. Also the Samsung and the graphics are reporting two diferent resolutions unless I play with the scale to full screen or keep aspect ratio stuff and after a restart the picture and color might look good or it might not. Also the more I play with it I end up with a scrolling efect going up the screen.. Can I unistall the SM BUS. I am pretty sure it is important part of the Chipset. Help with the graphics Please. I have two PCI X 16 slot. And Asus gives me a list of supported Cards WHich do you think is best.
