How to fix it
Download and run the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility so Windows* properly recognizes the SMBus controller.
SM Bus Controller Driver. Page 2 of 3 First 1 2 3 Last. Im having trouble finding some drivers. I cant find standerd dual channel pci ide controller & sm bus. Reinstalling the drivers and updating the drivers for both devices just produce the message 'The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software.' As far as I know the 'SM Bus Controller' has something to do with chipset drivers - of which I have the latest version installed (Intel - Asus motherboard).
Note | SMBus is the System Management Bus used in personal computers and servers for low-speed, system management communications. A SMBus controller is integrated into most Intel® chipsets. |

My Hidden City app has been crashing lately and has also been lagging. I used Microsoft's App Diagnostics tool and it reset the Windows Store App and it detected my graphics driver to be out of date. I did checks for updates using Windows Update and HP Support Assistant and no updates were found. But I recently checked Windows Update history and saw that on multiple occasions Advanced Micro Devices, Inc driver update for AMD SMBus failed to install and the error code is 80070103. I couldn't find any info on how to solve the problem except to contact the drivers manufacturer. On the AMD website I used the driver detector to try and locate the driver update that keeps failing to try a manual install. Instead I clicked express install without thinking and at the end of the install there was a message that the driver was partially installed. I thought that meant I needed to restart my computer to finish the installation
especially since that appeared as an option at the bottom of the install wizard. When I restarted my computer there was no prompt to not turn off my computer while the install finished, but it restarted with no problems. About 2-3 minutes after my computer was fully booted I got a pop-up message that Radeon Settings Host Application has stopped working. When I opened Task Manager to make sure it t really did stop, I noticed that the 2 Catalyst applications that were always there were gone, it's also missing from the pop-up box you get when you right click the desktop to personalize the desktop. In it's place is the AMD Radeon Settings Host. When I clicked the settings host I got a graphics pop-up message stating 'No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware.' I don't know how to fix this problem and I don't know how to find the correct driver or why the AMD update failed how do I fix all of this. Also even though I screwed up my driver I can tell an improvement of my graphics, and I opened my Hidden City game and the graphics were nice and crisp and the lagging was gone. If more info or details are needed please let me know and I will do my best to supple it, and tips on how to check for driver updates and to prevent this from happening again would be greatly appreciated.
