ok so i keep seeing SM Bus Controller on fresh installs and I never know which driver it needs... this time its on my work PC. can someone explain how to identify it using hardware IDs and where to get the right driver safely? ideally Id like a method I can reuse next time instead of asking every time... thx! A quick explanation goes a long way. what am i doing wrong??
Found The Right Driver For SM Bus Controller Using Hardware IDs
ok so nothing obviously broken, just teh yellow mark.
been there man open Device Manager > device > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids, the
VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxxpart identifies teh vendor and device. searching that ID (or checking the INF files in a driver package) tells you which package covers it. lmk how it goesok so common mappings: SM Bus Controller usually needs teh chipset pakcage; PCI Simple Communications Controller is often teh Management Engine interface; Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller often relates to thermal or platform drivers. good luck man!
printer saw i was in a hurry and chose violence
