    Im unsure about a few things going on in my pc, i recently had to delete my partition and reinstall the hole pc again this has all went without a hiccup but the only problem with that is, when i installed it all again and didi all the win updates i still cant hear any sound.

    I have tried going through device manager and it has;
    All of the following have Yellow questions marks

    3x Base system device
    1x BCM2045
    1x Ethernet controller
    1x Network controller
    1x SM Bus controller
    1x Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

    My Laptops monitors display when scrolling is very choppy,

    The sound when a error message or anything as such has a System Beep, Ive tried going into services and starting windows audio, still no luck.

    I have tried to install all the drivers but nothing seems to work its coming up with it cant find the relative software.

    Any ideas from anyone or help would be very much appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi



    If your PC is one from the likes of DELL, HP, Sony, etc what is the Make and model varient as this will assist us on what drivers we need?

    If your PC is a home or custom build what is the motherboard make and version?


    Likelyhood is that you need to install the Chipset (motherboard drivers) as SMbus highlights that its not installed, once this is installed the installation of other drivers will work ok.

    Choppy scrolling is that the graphics driver is needed to be updated to latest one for your PC.

    I followed your instructions halo i went to the intel and dell site as this is a dell laptop with an intel chipset, i installed the recent driver and i got a message which said that the system didnt meet the requirements so i cancelled that, now im stuck, i have no idea what to do, just wondering wether you had any other ideas or if anyone else does?

    thank you

    Hi Mentalist,

    Your report indicates that the drivers you need are on this page

    Install the Chipset drivers first followed by the Video driver then the network card, anything else later. If there is a choice of drivers, opt for the most recent.

    Good luck.

    Here's your drivers:

    Audio: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=3&fileid=235761
    Chipset: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=27&fileid=149851
    Base System Devices (Media Reader): http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=27&fileid=188377
    Modem: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=20&fileid=150083
    Ethernet: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=5&fileid=198980
    WiFi Wireless Network Adapter: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=5&fileid=233125
    Video Driver (ATI Mobile): http://support.dell.com/support/dow...-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=6&fileid=171076
    Dell Notebook Utilities (optional but recommended): http://support.dell.com/support/dow...-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=7&fileid=160873

    Install the chipset drivers first, and reboot when prompted to. If you have any questions or problems, please post. If the chipset says that it doesn't meet the requirements as before, don't worry about it and just install the rest of the drivers.

    Good luck!
