SM Bus Controller - driver error

Hi everyone, Just completed a clean reinstall Windows 8.0, upgraded to 8.1, 64-bit operating system onto a Dell XPS 8700 Desktop with an Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3.40GHz processor. I am having a problem with the SM Bus Controller driver. I receive a code 28, drivers not installed. The hardware ID’s are: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C22&SUBSYS_05B71028&REV_04 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C22&SUBSYS_05B71028 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C22&CC_0C0500 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C22&CC_0C05 I have tried running automatic update, but Windows can’t locate the driver. Have also tried a reinstall of the chipset from Intel but didn’t work. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for your help! -Aaron

Hi,

SM Bus controller is related to chipset drivers not installed on the system. I’d suggest that you update BIOS and chipset driver on your computer to check for issue resolution. Please enter your service tag # on the link below, then download the BIOS from BIOS section and chipset from chipset section onto the system and install it.
