Sm Bus Controller missing driver.

Thanks Joe. It works on my GA EP45 UD3R.

I also have the XPS420 (intel chipset) and had the same error. I got the driver package and it took a couple of installs and reboots for it to stick. As a convenience, you can download that package here:

Just extract the files into the folder of your choice, then goto the device manager and update the driver. You have to tell it to manually locate the driver, just put in the drive/folder name where you unzipped the file. Like I mentioned, it took a couple of installs/reboots for the driver to "stick" to the smbus.

I hope this helps (tip my scales )

Thanks

I'm curious why not just install the very latest Intel Chipset driver package with the installer utility from Intel? For me, they didn't take a couple tries to stick.

just installed the latest INF chipset updater drivers from intel (v9.1.0.1012) and it worked perfectly. no compatibility mode required.

Strange, I got "this operating system is not supported"

Thank you for this. Advisory to anyone else with similar specs to me, this driver pack has worked in Seven X64 Ultimate Beta, on a Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 board running a E6850 C2D @ 3.2GHz (8 X 400).

Thanks a lot! It helped me too.

This solved my problem also

I recently installed on my intel duo core and was missing the SM bus controller driver. After some searching I found the link that solved this. Thanks a lot!

Action Center was reporting a "problem with your intel chipset" for weeks. Every time I tried the fix option it said it couldn't find anything. For some reason(annoyance, mostly) I clicked it again today and it actually found the drivers.
I was told to install in compatibility mode for xp, and it installed w/o problems. It seems they're working on updating it. Actually win7 is terrific with finding drivers in general, and is apparently getting better.
By the way, the drivers were for an old (2005-ish) usb/firewire combo hub.

Hi

Have anyone had this problem with nforce 4 chipset, if so how did you come around it, also i was looking for this answer both for x86 and x64 W7.

Thanks

 

[swarfega]

have you tried downloading the nvidia nforce drivers?

just a sidenode, this issue has been resolved in subsequent leaked builds.

 

[jojomaleiro]

The nvidia driver doesn't seem to do a thing, thou it installs but no changes appear in the device manager(for x64), in the x86 version i manage to install a XP driver that worked(the vista didn't) but the computer start freaking out after a few days.Btw thanks for the fast reply.

I forgot to tell i tried build 7068 for x64 and 7057 for x32

 

[swarfega]

Have you checked the action centre? Sometimes it picks up the sm bus issue.

 

[itznfb]

i was just posting in another thread about this. here is the link to the correct driver:
Confirm Download

if you need to install in compatability mode then it's not the correct driver.
however, since upgrading to 7068 and now 7077 it seems to have been included in the base install, 3 intel PC/laptops i've tried anyway.

Thanks but i was looking nforce 4 not intel.

 

[itznfb]

well, i was replying to the OP.
but as for nvidia.... i don't believe nvidia even supports nforce 4 anymore so i doubt you'll see a windows 7 driver for it.

additionaly.. there are many variations of nforce 4, so knowing your specific motherboard/chipset would be beneficial
