[jjim26]

I just did a fresh reinstall of windows 7

When I look in device manager the driver for SM Bus Controller is missing and the "update driver" doesn't fix it.

Can someone help me find the correct driver.

Hi jjim26,

You need to install chipset driver on the system. It would be best to go to your system manufacturer website and select your system to install all relevant drivers.

If you are unable to find the same let us know the system model and make and we would try to locate the drivers for you.

If you have any queries feel free to reach out to us.

System Manufacturer/Model Number dell xps 8300
OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64
CPU i5-2310
Motherboard Intel H67 Revision B3 Dell Inc. 0Y2MRG A00

I am having the same problem with a missing SM Bus Controller. I did a clean install of Windows 7 today XP, but bizarrely all my files are still on the hard drive, and the previous edition has been moved to Windows.old. However, the install has got rid of the drivers for the SM Bus Controller, which means I have no internet....! Are the drivers still on the hard drive somewhere..? Help...!

Hi Welcome to Seven Forums ... If you can Post the Model Number of your Computer .. I will give you a Link which you can Download the Lan Driver ... Hopefully you are using another Computer to Post here if so you can then use a Flash Drive to transfer the File .. Then you can Run Windows Updates which should supply you with most of the Drivers you need ..

Hi thanks for the quick reply. The computer I have is a Mesh Elite M800 3.0 GHZ. It's a totally standard computer with no mods. I didn't think this would be so much grief..! The computer is about 10 years old, but still runs fine. It's connected by cable to a Virgin Media hub and I can use my lap top off of the wi-fi signal from the hub.... Does any of this help..?

 

[maxie]

Go to the Device Manager select the Missing Driver .. Then right click select Property's/ Details Tab ..

In the Volume section there should be some info there please Post it ...

 

[cousinbillybob]

Hi, thanks. It just has SM Bus Controller there. The icon at the top of the tap has '?' in a circle next to it.....

 

[maxie]

Try the following click on the Start button .. In the Search box type cmd then open the Command Prompt ...

And type the following or you can copy and paste it >>>>> wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber

 

[maxie]

Sorted ?

 

[cousinbillybob]

Sorry, I'm a bit of a techno biff....!

I've typed wmic baseboard......

A lot of stuff comes up on the screen, but I can see ASUSTEK Computer Inc and P4R800-VM..... Does this help..?

 

[maxie]

No problem .. Drivers in the Link below ..

I'm assuming I use the under LAN..? When I've copied it across, I start the setup process and it comes up with 'Setup was unable to complete the installation'..... Any ideas..?

 

[maxie]

Yes Lan was the right one ... Was there any error code ? .... Are you trying to Install this on Windows 7 ?

 

[cousinbillybob]

No error code.... Just that the set up would not complete.... Yes, I am trying the driver so that Windows 7 will connect to the net. I am now thinking that Windows 7 drivers are not supporting this motherboard..?

 

[maxie]

You are right there it is just to old .. But lets try the following ..

1. Place the driver installation file on the Desktop.

2. Right Click the driver installation file and select Properties/Compatibility Tab. select xp




3. Click Apply/OK.

4. Right Click the file and select the Run As Administrator option to install.

Could try to get your USB Ports working .... Then you could get a Wireless Adapter ..

 

[cousinbillybob]

I've given up on it for today, as my brain is about to pop..! I'll look again tomorrow evening... The USB ports work, as I've been using them to copy across files etc. It it cost effective to get a wireless adapter or get a new motherboard..? I don't want to spend over the odds, as all I want is the internet to work..!! Thanks.....
