    Gateway LT20 Chipset Issue

    System was a mess so I reinstalled windows and once done installed the chipset (sm bus) drivers and I get a blue screen once restarted and I can run Last known good and it removes the driver and starts again. I have reinstalled windows twice and used the intel auto update utility the second time around and that still didn't work. Whats going on here? I'm going to test the hard drive and memory today.

    Hmmmm....Might be a driver collusion of the chipset utility with other device on the system.
    look at me post if you plan to install xp :

    Take notice to backup after point #14 - Then it'll help you restore system quickly in a case of BSOD.
    I would also think about the possibility to installing windows 7 if the system is strong enough for it

    Good luck

    Well here is what I found. This Gateway Mini doesn't like to be set to ide mode and the os installed. I set the drive to ide because the drive wasn't seen in sata ahci mode. Once the system was installed you can't install the chipset driver without blue screening and the drive was stuck in PIO Mode and wouldn't change. Well I just happen to have slipstreamed the ahci drivers onto a gateway disc a while back so I tried it and it installed just fine and all is well.
