Gigabyte MA790X-UD4 SB750 Problem..PLEASE HELP!!!
« on: July 22, 2009, 12:11:51 pm »
Hi!!

Here is the problem..Since I bought this MBO, I´m having problems installing SB drivers..I´ve tried to install drivers with drivers obtained from AMD official drivers page and from Gigabyte driver page..and none of it worked..Installer starts and everything seems OK til it scans for device..and then suddenly I get window where installer reports that driver is installed and I need to reboot my PC..and after reboot nothing is changed.
Further more,during boot sequence,in PCI listings,SB Bus device is shown as N/A..
BTW,BIOS version is F2..
In device manager I´m getting this message:



This is my first post and I would be grateful if someone would help with my problem regarding this issue.

Hi,
Infuriating drivers,
Have you tried the troubleshooting option in the properties!
Have you tried to update drivers via the driver tab in this box! ATI Properties shown in your post?
Is your device compatable with your O/S

Interesting. I am no expert here, but I think this problem might be a red herring. For various reasons unrelated to your problem I have had to reinstall Windows XP and Windows 7 several times on my system, and each time I have had to reload the drivers, so I am fairly familiar with what happens. On initially loading Windows XP the SMBus isn't listed, but there are a lot of unrecognised devices in device manager. When I load the SMBus drivers, one unrecognised device dissappears and the SMBus appears. With Windows 7 the option to load the SMBus driver from the motherboard CD isnt' available. I'm currently in Windows 7, so I've just compared my SMBus to yours and I've got essetially the same message as you will see in the first screen shot below. Now take a look at the second one. As you will see, when checking the driver details for the device it states that a driver isn't needed. My suspicion is that all the so called driver files do is enable the operating system to find the SMBus, then the operating system takes over and does what configuration it needs to be able to use it, but after that no actual driver files are needed. I suspect if you check the driver details on your PC you will find that your PC, like mine, is happy it doesn't need drivers to use the SMBus and, in fact, the PC is already using the it to its full potential.

^My problem is that I dont understand why SMBus doesnt have IRQ number as all other devices in PCI listings durring booting..it beats me  ???Do you see SMBus IRQ number on your computer PCU listings?All other Gigabyte MBO´s I˙ve seen (AMD and Intel) dont have SMBus problem..and I seriously doubt that my other components are responsible for such thing.. :(

To be honest, I've not looked that closely. I'mm try and remember to have a look next time I reboot.

I'm using Win7 RC1 (build 7100) which is supposed to be the final version before the full retail comes out in a bit over a month.

Will report back on the IRQ details next time I reboot.

OK, here's what the PCI device list says on boot up.

Bus 0
Dev 20
Fun 0
Vendor 1002
Device 4385
SVID 1485
SSID 4385
Class 0C05
SMBus Cntrlr
IRQ NA

So, it seems the BIOS does not need to allocate an IRQ to the SMBus controller.
