SM bus controller is known as chipset controllers.
There are two places for you to download the proper drivers for the Satellite A15-S129. The first comes from Toshiba, listed at the link provided here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=441050&moid=513330&rpn=PSA10U&BV_SessionID=@@@@0733279044.1204275381@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccceadedhfjflfkcgfkceghdgngdgmm.0&ct=DL&all_docs=false

If by some God awefull reason this failes to install correctly.
You can allow intel to check your notebook & it will determine what .inf your notebook needs.
Intel's site: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/cs-013541.htm
Click on Intel® chipset Software Installation Utility

More question? Just post them here.
Best wishes & thanks for using FixYa.

Hello!

You install all the driver in series from the chipset or the inf upto the last option of your computer need. The utilities is enclosed in your laptop from the vendor so install the necessary drivers. If don't have CD utilities then download it from the toshiba website under their support and downloads.

I have problems with 3D Video Controller, PCI Simple Communications Controller, SM Bus Controller. I don't know what exact drivers to download. When I click update driver software, it says

Hello you can download the drivers here:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/NP300E5A-A03US

Start downloading the chipset driver and install it.
Select the newest one for your operating system.
All the files you need to download has to be unziped
before installation.
Next download the graphic driver.This should be an intel driver.
Try also to look in the device manager.
Run also windows update it can sometimes find the driver for you.
