Yeah, I've tried it all, disabling everything but the kitchen sink in device manager, and then disabling everything onboard in the BIOS which is a USB controller, Audio, and an ethernet port. Thanks for that link, by the way, I'll give it a go, but not today. The only "solutions" I've found before checking into DPC has all the users covering it up by changing vsynch and limiting frame rates and such which doesn't work for me. Poking around the normal OS, web browsing, watching a movie, it's all ok. If I had audio pops like most users (that are usually into DJing or producing music) I wouldn't care, but this stupid bug stutters my video when I'm gaming. Even so, when my latency programs are showing page faults way high it rates my rig as OK, until a few minutes of monitoring where those video drivers pop.Ĭonstant 1500us-1800us latency spikes every 2-3 seconds. The only thing that bothers me is a bunch of page faults due to MS Security Essentials, but after looking it up it's just the nature of the beast with AV programs. ![]() I've tried running the card OCd like I have been, or at stock clocks, no change, and the funny thing about DPC is that my CPU, GPU, RAM, and everything are all sitting at like 1% load at idle. The most persistent drivers are always dxgkrnl.sys and nvlddmkm.sys, no matter what I change, disable, or test. The dudes at nvidia didn't even know what I was talking about when I asked about DPC. On a whim I disabled the onboard audio in the BIOS just to quadruple check that, no change. I rebooted with all services and startup processes disabled in msconfig that I could, including windows services, and the issue persists. I would have tried a clean install but I lost my disc when I moved.
