XPS Gaming 1730 Device Manager Problem

Question

I have the XPS Gaming 1730 and I installed XP media edition on it to be my main operating system. Now in device manager I have three things listed as question marks and I can not find out what these things are or where to get the drivers for them. Does anyone know what these things listed below are:

Base System Device

SM Bus Controller

The base system device is listed three times. So does anyone know where i can get drivers for these things or does anyone know what these things represent.
