The System Management Bus is a two-wire interface through which simple power-related chips can communicate with rest of the system. It uses I2C as its backbone.
A system using SMB passes messages to and from devices instead of trip- ping individual control lines.
With the SMBus, a device can provide manufacturer information, tell the system what its model/part number is, save its state for a suspend event, report different types of errors, accept control parameters, and return its status.

Try updating with your boards cd or deleting it and letting it re-install with cd in drive.

You need to use the Intel INF update to properly install it. Either download the latest update from Intel or install the update on your mobo CD :)
