I am having trouble locating the driver for my SM Bus Controller. It shows up in my device manager with a yellow ! next to it and says no drivers are currently installed. I have tried to automatically update the drivers in the properties for the Bus Driver but it says, "Windows could not find driver software for your device." "If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software." After looking through the drivers at the HP website i cannot figure out which driver is for the SM Bus Controller. Product Name: HP 250 G3 Notebook PC Please help.

Hi:

 

You need this driver for the smbus controller...

 

This package contains the Intel Chipset Installation Utility. This utility enables the operating system to show the correct name for the installed Intel hardware in the Microsoft Windows Device Manager. This package is provided for supported computer models running a supported operating system.
