Hi everyone, been having DPC latency caused by my GTX 760, changing drivers with DDU hasn't done anything for that matter.
I've been basically coping with it so far but I wanna fix it once and for all so I'm asking for your help.

I run the tests without touching anything for one hour and 20 minutes.
I've disabled everything in my bios that I'm not using (onboard video, unused SATA ports, C-States, EIST/Thermal Monitor)
I disabled PowerMizer in the registry as I read that it helped.
I use onboard Audio & LAN (both Realtek)

I also noticed that USBPORT.sys spikes while in-game.

My specs

Gigabyte Z87-HD3
Asus GTX 760
Intel i5 4670k
8GB of RAM (DDR3 Kingston 1600mhz CL9)

Hi ravage. :)

When does the problem appear?
What program are you trying to use when that happens? (And... What happens?)
Click to expand...

I noticed that everytime I run Latencymon for ONE minute there's always ONE DPC latency spike that's shown on Latencymon (0,55-0,60 just like on the screenshot)

It happens when idle and while in-game sessions. I notice it in game, could be extremely short micro freezes that I have sometimes.

Could you try to remove IRST (intel rapid storage technology) and see if the problem disappear?

I don't have RST installed with the exe. I only install it with these files through Device Manager

I try to see if my HDD was having health problems or whatever, this is what CrystalDiskInfo say about it. It looks good to me.

But I'm going to uninstall the AHCI driver and go back to Microsoft driver and do some tests anyway.

:omg: Rivage. Sorry!

Would you try these steps?

  • Left-click on Start, type directly msconfig, press enter.
    Is the radio button on normal startup?
  • Launch this command from an elevated command prompt:
    dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
    Click to expand...
    Do you get my same result?
    Read More:
  • Advanced disk cleanup with cleanmgr:
    • Open an elevated command prompt
    • Type cleanmgr /sageset:1 and press enter.
    • Select all the options, or leave unticked the ones you prefer.
    • Type cleanmgr /sagerun:1 and press enter
    • Let it work until it finishes.
  • Launch this command from an elevated command prompt:
    sfc /scannow
    Click to expand...
    If you get the following message:
    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    Click to expand...
    Read Windows Update Forum Posting Instructions (click) and provide the necessary (and missing) informations to the experts.I.e., you should:
    • export and zip/compress the entire CBS folder on your desktop
    • open a new topic in the windows update sub-forum (in sysnative.com)
    • attach that zipped file to that new topic
    If the CBS compressed folder will be too large, you can check the second post on that thread (to use the sfcfix tool with a script) or you can use a (possibly fast) web service like MS OneDrive, Google Drive, DropBox, Box, Mega, Apple iCloud, Amazon Cloud Drive, and so forth...
    Instead if you get the following messages, go to the next step:
    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations
    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. Details are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    Click to expand...
  • Check you system partition, then post the result here. Steps:
    • Open an elevated command prompt.
    • Type chkdsk c: /b and press enter.
    • You'll get:
      The type of the file system is NTFS.
      Cannot lock current drive.
      Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
      process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
      checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)
      Click to expand...
    • Type Y and press enter.
    • Then restart/reboot and wait until it finishes this check.
    • To find chkdsk result:
      • Open an elevated command prompt
      • Copy/paste this command and press enter:
        Code: 
        wevtutil qe application /c:1 /rd:true  /f:text /q:"*[System[Provider[(@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Wininit')]]]" > "%userprofile%\desktop\ChkDskLOG.txt" & notepad "%userprofile%\desktop\ChkDskLOG.txt"
      • It should create chkdsklog.txt on your desktop and open it: paste its content here.
      • If the command won't work, type eventvwr, press enter, in the event viewer window double-left-click Windows Logs to expand it, left-click Application, double-left-click the information event with source wininit, copy its content and post it here.
  • Defragment your system drive (using windows default defragmenter). Steps:
    • Open an elevated command prompt
    • Type defrag c: /h and press enter
    • Wait until it finishes

After all those operations, reboot your machine and see if the problem persists.
