see all those question marks - should they be there?

Strangest thing is things appear to be running smoothly. Just bottlenecks every about 8 hours and needs restarting. Sometimes every few days no need to restart!

What you expert think?
 
Why does it bottleneck?

CPU/GPU?

Have you tried unplugging USB devices from the machine, see if they disappear, and then re-inserting them to see if they re-appear?

EDIT: Says Base System, my statement is most probably incorrect :) apologies
 
Is this a laptop?

I think SM Bus Controller is to do with the chipset so have you installed the appropriate chipset drivers?

Base System Device may be to do with a card reader. Do you have one? If you do it needs drivers installing.

IDT is connected with a sound device and you'll need to find the appropriate driver.
 
In device manager you can open the device properties and on the details tab find some key info in the form of device hardware ID's

Then use this website to find what the device ID's actually mean.

Once you know what the device actually does, you can find a driver for it :)
 
Is this a Asus board by any chance? If so you need to install the EPU engine drivers as well as the chipset drivers. It would clear some of those question marks.

Simple fix, its obviously missing drivers, why don't you just get a copy of driver genius, its brilliant, and it most likely will sort it out :)

driver genius is not such auto genious when comes to laptop. Its desigend to work with desktops and just now it did not get right drivers for my laptop but for desktop. cheap...
 
The most up to date drivers for your machine can be found here, on the Dell website:

http://support.euro.dell.com/suppor...ystemID=XPS_M1710&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=

However, since there was multiple hardware choices available for the laptop, there are multiple drivers available to download depending on the original configuration. Locating the correct ones for your laptop may not be so easy.

You can enter your service tag on this page as well which may narrow the list down to just the ones meant for your particular laptop, as Dell keeps a note of the spec of their machines as they leave the factory. So it may be worth giving that a try. The service tag is usually on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop.

If that doesn't work, you should try locating the original disks that came with the machine. It may be worth running them to see what comes up. Some driver disks have utilities that can detect what drivers are missing and install them accordingly.
