Since your 'friend' obviously did not know what he was doing when he re-installed your OS (since HP/Compaq notebooks come with a recovery partition which allows for the re-installation of the OS to factory condition which includes all the motherboard devices - such as the SM BUS controller which you indicate has the Yellow ? - and add-on devices which the machine has installed) the simplest thing for you to do, since you admit to being a complete novice is to: Download and install them all!! The only caveat - only download the ones for your machine/ device. For example - if yours has an Atheros Wireless adapter but the only download is for a Broadcom device then this would not make sense to download and install.
Once this has been done get back to us as to what still has a problem By the way... It is on your recovery partition or recovery/install disk that the factory supplied drivers are located. If your 'friend' wiped the recovery partition or you have lost the recovery/install disk then you may have to get a copy from HP/ Compaq.
