Hello all,

Just finished building a new system with an ASUS P8Z77-V LE mobo. I installed what I thought was the most recent chipset (http://usa.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z77V_LE/#download):

DESCRIPTION: Management Engine Interface V8.1.0.1263 for Windows XP 32bit & Vista 32bit & Win7 32bit & Win8 32bit---(WHQL) [includes Management Engine Interface V8.1.0.1263 for Windows XP 64bit & Vista 64bit & Win7 64bit & Win8 64bit---(WHQL)].

FILE SIZE: 56,28 (MBytes) 2012.09.05 update

After installing it, the SM Bus Controller in the Device Mgr is showing an ! mark - driver not installed.
Well, after double-checking the ASUS website again, I see that it might not have been the chipset I downloaded but some additional software (Management Engine Interface), which I discovered having seen "Intel Chipset" listed as the fourth and last downloadable item in the list. What caused me to miss this the first time is the date is the oldest, hence, one would think, not what I wanted. What caught my eye this time, however, was the version: it's newer than the Managment Engine Interface file. Great!

So, my quesiton is this, should I go ahead and install the "Intel Chipset" and hope this clears up the SM Bus Controller issue, or will this conflict, perhaps, with the Management Engine Interface?

Thanks,

Starkman

SM Bus controller error occours if you install improper Chipset driver. Correct chipset driver will solve the yellow symbol. Go to intel to download the driver ( version 9.3.0.1026 )

Hmm, I didn't see the Z77 chipset supported for this download.

I ran into the same problem:
Fix for me was to:
1. run AsRock Z97 installation disk
2. Click on Driver tab
3. Click on INF file and install.
Warning goes aware after this is installed (or better said, reinstalled).

This worked for me, on my Z87, except that instead of clicking "INF file and install" I needed to click on Install Intel Chipset Drivers.

This did not work for me. The Intel driver update utility didn't find any drivers installed, and therefore there was nothing to update, in my circumstance. Reinstalling the drivers from the motherboard installation disk worked though.

Hey I have this error too, according to a video went to install from Intel but it says my pc doesn meet minimum requirements. Mine is a windows 7 home premium, it was ok after reformating though nowadays has slow loading of desktop, sometimes just the background but no icons no bottom. I've gotten rid of Comodo - shit program and unnecessary antiviruses
