Then go to the device manager unknown device SM Bus device and update the drive.
So here is what to do to fix the problem: If you are still at BSOD no need to re-install Windows (XP in my case) just hit the F8 button and go back to the “Last know good configuration”, then uninstall the chip set driver in Add/Remove programs in the Control panel. I don't know the cause of the error but I think the Acer Aspire netbook (AOD250 in my case) does not use all the Intel chips that are in the driver package, but just a guess. The Intel chipset driver is Intel Mobile 945 chipset. You will notice after downloading and installing the Intel chipset from the ACER site (or the Intel site) you will get the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Make sure to change the BIOS back to boot from your hard drive in future (and, whilst you’re there, check the BIOS front screen to ensure the BIOS version number is correct!).Intel Chipset causes BSOD Acer Aspire One(SLOVED) The BIOS should now install and reboot your Acer.Go into C: (which is actually your USB memory stick) and find the BIOS files you saved earlier. I should have maybe said earlier that if you’re not literate with DOS, then you may struggle at this point 😉 FreeDOS will now have started and you’ll have a standard DOS screen.You will now be presented with a list of boot options – select option 5 (FreeDOS Live CD).The FreeDOS screen will appear with an option to select a default option.Your Acer should now boot from the USB stick.Once in the BIOS select the Boot Menu and move the USB HDD to the top of the list (using F5 and F6 to move them up and down).Reboot the Acer and press F2 at the “splash screen” to go into the BIOS settings.Now copy the BIOS files onto the USB drive as well.Click on “OK” and FreeDOS will be installed onto the USB drive.At the bottom of the window ensure the “Type” is “USB Drive” and the “Drive” is the drive letter of your USB memory stick.It will prompt for a “Distribution” – change this to “FreeDOS”.Ensure your memory stick is plugged in and run UNetbootin.A download of the latest BIOS from Acer.Simply click on the option to download the latest Windows version. A download of UNetbootin – this is a free program that will create a bootable USB device with one of a number of downloadable operating systems, including any your own.Now, and this is where I went wrong initially, the USB memory has to be formatted as FAT32 and not NTFS. No idea why as the files took up 3.2MB in total. I read somewhere that recommended a 4GB one. And that when I say USB memory, I also mean USB drive. That means putting DOS on a USB stick and booting from it.īear in mind that I have a Windows XP A150 Aspire One. And not the Command Prompt DOS-a-like that Windows offers. In a nutshell, the BIOS has to be upgraded via DOS. In the end I found a combination of advice was the best solution.

I couldn’t find anything on the Acer site on how to do it, although they offer the BIOS updates, but I did find various forums and blogs where it’s been discussed. As much as I hate doing BIOS updates, due to the possibility of catastrophic problems, I decided to give it a go. The BIOS on my Acer was horribly out of date and the change logs showed that a lot of useful fixes had been implemented since.
