    hi,

    I've got a laptop from Dell, XPS M1530


    Now I researched some things (after some issues) and I found:


    In the Device Manager.


    Under System Devices

    Intel (R) ICH8 Family SMBus Controller

    Under Properties:I

    Resouce settings: FIRST SIGN OF AN ERROR I/O RANGE 10CO - 10DF

    UNDER Conflicting Devices:

    Input/Output Range 10C0 - 10DF used by:
    System board

    Input/Output Range 10C0 - 10DF used by:
    System board


    IT IS ON THE THE THIRD SYSTEM BOARD WHICH THEY CALL

    ON PCI DEVICE

    IN THE CONFLICTING DEVICES THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS:

    Input/Output Range 10C0 - 10DF used by:
    Intel(R) ICH8 Family SMBus Controller


    --> What's wrong????? + I've done bios update (nothing changes)

    greetz and thanks in advance!

    Try to uninstall the driver for the SMbus controller (in Device Manager) and then disable it there too and reboot and see if it will reinstall correctly...you'll be needing the motherboard chipset drivers if you don't have a disk that came with the Dell.

    EDIT: erm actually now I'm thinking just uninstall and disable one of the "system boards" there...I think that's redundant and the SMbus can share the IRQ.

    ok...well try the first bit I mentioned then or just download the latest system drivers for your laptop and see if a fresh installation works first without uninstalling the SMbus controller.

    Ok,

    Downloaded the drivers again! Nothins changes! Also I did an uninstall of the SM-bus, but still the problem is there!

    Don't know what's wrong:s, but can cause this system lockups?? Because I've got that sometimes when I'm running applications?

    thx in advance

    well yeah conflicting devices can cause problems...in earlier versions of Windows you could just manually change IRQ numbers but in your Vista it's all automatic. Maybe see if you can do it somewhere in the BIOS...or uhm is it still under warranty with Dell?

    No bios settings!

    and yes I've got warranty! But they replaced my motherboard cause I had bad memory issues!

    But I don't know if I got the device problem before it.

    Can't it be a vista problem?

    well Vista should have automatically assigned IRQ's so that there's no conflicts...but it does happen anyway occasionally. I assume it didn't come with a proper Vista CD but has some sort of "restore factory settings disk"? If so you can try that...but you're gonna lose anything you installed or saved since it was new.

    ah!

    I only got a Vista installation disk! Reinstalling vista doesn't change anything I guess!

    So there is nothing else I can do? Can't vista reload the I/0 settings or so

    I've e-mailed dell, but they don't reply that fast!

    Please if somebody can help me further, it would be great!

    Thx

    oh ok...you probably have a Vista disk that will only work with the Dell motherboard...so yeah I'd give that a try

    :eek3: Maybe I should have re-emphasized that unless you opt for a repair installation it would erase everything you've installed and saved. So sorry about that...but hey maybe the thing will be stable for you now despite the IRQ conflict.

    oh yeah...wasn't paying attention there was I...well both are device conflicts caused by two devices sharing the same memory

    almost everything is back on the disk! But it's weird the devices are still wrong

    Desperate,
