Hey, all. Basically, I had a laptop go mental on me and I took it to the shop. It was returned to me having been wiped and Windows reinstalled. I was having problems playing videos, if I remember correctly (this was many months ago) there was no sound on videos when I got it back. I called the guy at the shop, he said to go to device manager and update drivers. I've never done it before but I thought I'd figured it out and all seemed to have worked, save this SM Bus controller thing. I'd forgotten about it, really. Videos never played quite as well on this thing since the reinstallation, youtube, netflix, downloaded videos, etc, but they had at least played. Well, as time's gone on, now the fan kicks on loudly and very easily, if I play a game or video, especially on netflix, this thing overheats FAST and then shuts off within minutes lately. Also...IF, and I mean 'IF' it recognizes a cd or dvd at all, it takes forever and the actual contents aren't fully displayed and don't work anyway! I figured the thing was on its last legs and I'd have to think about shelling out dough for a replacement when I ran into a supposedly pretty knowledgeable guy who mentioned it was probably drivers not updating. It's all Greek to me but I did remember about the thing that didn't update when I tried to take care of that myself. Anyway, I found the device manager again and this SM Bus Controller won't update. I have no idea, with my limited understanding of this stuff, if that one little thing could be causing this much trouble. I'd appreciate your input either way but if you think it's that, please tell me what to do for updating this. I've failed trying some shots in the dark on it.Sm Bus Controller Driver Intel
I didn't know what to do here, because I'm not the one who installed anything, so I went ahead, with no disk that I know of and got:

I'm so confused, I forgot the why but I was reading about a similar problem on another site and downloaded something related to 'chipset' which I don't know anything about and the programs said I didn't have the system requirements to install them. Any ideas?
