Did a clean install yesterday on a hard drive that was empty.
Today, I noticed 3 items as problematic in Device Manager.
* Ethernet Controller (windows can't find driver)
* SM Bus Controller (no driver)
* Universal Serial Bus Controller (no driver)
Never saw this on any of my several computers and I have no do idea what it is all about.
Anyone have ideas?
Thanks
Hi there .. You need a Chipset Driver . Going by your System Specs the Drivers can be found in the Link below
MSI UK ? Motherboard - P67A-GD55
Thanks, maxie
I realized that I had forgotten to install the motherboard drivers.
I attempted this and now the mouse pointer is frozen in the middle of the screen. Cannot stop it no matter what I do.
I have dragged my XP machine out of storage and I'll use that instead. At least it works.
Many thanks.
maxie, yes I was able to get the mouse working late last night.
So, now I am back to my original question. If course, the "Solved" check mark doesn't help. I may need to start a new post.
Oops the check mark may be gone.
I have no idea what hardware they are talking about. Windows tries to find drivers for all three of them and can't find any.
I built this computer in late April 2013 and hooked it to my modem/router and these items were not a problem then.
Meanwhile, instead of being wired to the modem/router, I had to use a wireless device. I can live with that but it would be nice to have the computer work the way it's supposed to.
Hi again .. In post 2 there is a Link to your Motherboard Drivers .. Download the Chipset and Lan Driver .. You may need the USB 3 Driver too
Well, I reinstalled the mother board drivers again last night and the three items still appear.
Let me try later today and I'll get back to you. No time right now.
Thanks
Let me know what Version of the Drivers you have Installed .. And post a screenshot of the Device Manager with the problems Devices expanded
