I seem to have a bit of a tricky situation on my hands. I've been routinely getting BSOD's with an "uncorrectable hardware error" on my desktop. After checking in my device manager, I seem to be missing a driver for the SM Bus Controller, and my research points me to incorrect chipset drivers. I'm not sure if this is related or not, but not too long ago I replaced my MB which stopped working after I moved, and I replaced it with a different one.
It worked fine for awhile, with relatively intermittent BSOD's. Now the BSOD happens minutes after boot-up. I've tried downloading and running Intel's ME, but the BSOD happens before it can do its thing. I can boot into Safe Mode fine, and it will run all day in SM. I tried running the ME in Safe Mode, though, and I get an error every time. So I can't seem to update the drivers from safe mode, yet I can't stay in the normal Windows environment to update the chipset drivers.
I wish Intel would just publish the actual drivers I need so I could install them myself, but everywhere I look I just get pointed back to the ME. Any thoughts on how to get everything back on track?
I'm currently running an i5-2500k (not OC'd) on an Asrock Z77 Extreme4.
