Vista - Coprocessor & SM Bus Controller

**Jsh1284** · 10-23-2008

Hello there .. I'm pleased to have found a great Vista resource like this online, although I wish I didn't have to search you guys out on annoying negative terms like this: So here's my issue. It's pretty self explanitory:

I redid Vista and in my device manager, I'm getting two issues. One is my Coprocessor. It can't find the drivers for this.. Also it's having trouble with the "SM Bus Controller" driver. What exactly can I do to fix these two issues? This is a custom build so I don't have the luxury of having a restore disc or anything like this, which seems to be the common fix for this issue around the net. None of the other suggestions from the site have worked so far. So, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

PS - In case you need my stats: AMD Phenom x4 9600, Nvidia Geforce 8800GT, Biostar T-Force 8200 mobo, OCZ Platinum DDR2 1066 RAM, Western Digital Caviar 250 GB HD, 550W Rosewill PSU.

Hi Jsh1284 and welcome to Vista Forums

This can be caused by either not having chipset drivers installed or by using the wrong ones. Here is a link to the main drivers page for your motherboard: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/...r.php?S_ID=353 Download and burn to a CD all appropriate drivers and then install them from the CD.

Well that did it! Thanks a million, Dwarf! I can quit pulling my hair out now! XD *bows*

I'll definitely be visiting this forum more often now that this problem is solved.
