Device problem! XPS M1530

Hi,

 

I've got an XPS M1530! My first problem was a memory problem, where they have changed my motherboard!

But now I've discovered a second one!

 

In my device manager I've found a conflict! Can somebody with a XPS M1530 see in his/her device list under system devices, then Intel (R) ICH8 Family SMBus Controller (Under Properties), if there is a I/O error listed !?

 

Please somebody!!

    Just checked and mine also appears to have a conflict. Here's the message:-

    Thanks for the replies!

     

    Like G4DDS has, this is a strange error!

     

    My XPS M1530 suffers from weird lags in games, wolfenstein enemy territory plays fine, but sometimes it just stops for 2sec and then I can play again!

     

    G4DDS do you also have some of these issues?

    Mine says the same, but it isn't an error, it's just a statement. In addition no drive is loaded for this item.

     

    The SMBus Controller is not used with recent mother boards - anything after Intel 865 chip set. That's why you see no driver loaded.

    Same error on mine too.  No apparent effect but will keep an eye out for Dell opinion.

    Ah ok! But I've got lag issues. And I don't have a fix!

     

    And when I was researching my system I found that! Or is an XPS M1530 with T2750 processor en 2ghz not able to play wolfenstein enemy territory and fifa08 without lag?

     

    Like I said my frames per second are fine! But sometimes it just hangs, pretty weird! Because the lagometer of the game indicates a gap in my green line (with is frames per second). Most of the times this means there is something (hardware) that lags! And I thought about this device, because it uses conflicted I/O port!

     

    But I don't know, may'be it's vista or so.
