Been dealing with these problem for nearly a week now. clean installed many AMD drivers, updated my asrock B75 pro 3 motherboards bios, updated the intel chipset driver and even reinstalled windows 10 on my boot SSD.

Here's Latency Monitors report.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:00:10 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Computer name: DESKTOP-1T4NBDV
OS version: Windows 10 , 10.0, build: 15063 (x64)
Hardware: ASRock, B75 Pro3
CPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
Logical processors: 4
Processor groups: 1
RAM: 8136 MB total




_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CPU SPEED
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reported CPU speed: 3392 MHz
Measured CPU speed: 1 MHz (approx.)


Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.


WARNING: the CPU speed that was measured is only a fraction of the CPU speed reported. Your CPUs may be throttled back due to variable speed settings and thermal issues. It is suggested that you run a utility which reports your actual CPU frequency and temperature.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.


Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 31204.485158
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 212.750967


Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 31170.978688
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 210.285701




_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
REPORTED ISRs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.


Highest ISR routine execution time (µs): 89.281545
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: USBPORT.SYS - USB 1.1 & 2.0 Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation


Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0.007258
Driver with highest ISR total time: USBPORT.SYS - USB 1.1 & 2.0 Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation


Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0.007286


ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 631
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 500-999 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0




_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
REPORTED DPCs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.


Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 31199.783314
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: storahci.sys - MS AHCI Storport Miniport Driver, Microsoft Corporation


Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 10.176082
Driver with highest DPC total execution time: storahci.sys - MS AHCI Storport Miniport Driver, Microsoft Corporation


Total time spent in DPCs (%) 10.659266


DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 31118
DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 500-999 µs): 2
DPC count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0




_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.




Process with highest pagefault count: none


Total number of hard pagefaults 0
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 0
Highest hard pagefault resolution time (µs): 0.0
Total time spent in hard pagefaults (%): 0.0
Number of processes hit: 0

I'm honestly unsure where to go from here and with my google searches for the problem this seems like the best site for DPC issues. All microsoft Tech Support did for me was give me the runaround with stuff like "go to windows update, check for a new update if that doesn't work take your computer 50+ miles to a microsoft store and pay them to look at it"
 
I don't know if I fixed it, but I took off my side panel on my case for whatever reason and I saw that some of my sata cables looked a little loose though all SATA drives were reading fine and such. Could loose cables actually cause high DPC or am I just getting lucky again the problem isn't showing itself currently?
 
+1 ,, I was having same conclusion from latencymon ( and also highest DPC from storachi.sys ) and after reading this I snugged my hd connections and issue is solved. Thank you!!
