AMD A6-4400M apu chipset driver download

[digitheads]

i recently downgraded my Pavilion G7 (AMD A6-4400M APU) from windows 8.1 pro to Windows 7 Pro x64. I encountered very little problems with drivers and/or software, however my device manager still shows one unknown device (SM BUS Controller) which I know from experience to usually be contained within the chipset drivers for this Notebook. However, I cannot find the chipset drivers. Does anyone know where I can get the chipset drivers ? Description is HP Pavilion G7 2238nr. Computer info shows me AMD A6-4400M APU. please help

HP does not have a driver for windows 7.
You can try installing a Windows 8 driver though.

According the the AMD site you can run windows 8 drivers on 7.

Try this.

I know this will sound strange, but go on the Lenovo site and find a laptop/computer with the same CPU.
They will have all of the drivers you need.

i have already tried both of those avenues, to no avail. HP doesn't have a chipset driver listed for windows 8 or 8.1. AMD doesn't have the 4400M APU listed, I may have to call them.

I would call them.

Wow I found both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions on the Lenovo site:

Ok, Install them and see if they work. That is one reason I like Lenovo. They always have what you need.
