Re: Audio Popping Caused by DPC Latency - storport.sys and ndis.sys
Hi GJC. :welcome:
I'm not totally sure about your motherboard: is it asus PRIME H270-PRO ?
If yes, there's a new bios for it (and for your cpu i5-7500).
Current bios seems to be version 0607, new bios is version 0808 2017/07/21.
Read carefully your manual before updating the bios.
Remember the precautions: system restore point, backup of your important files, system image, windows cd at hand...
Where did you seat your SSD? In M.2_1 or in M.2_2 or where?
Are you using SATA6G_1 OR SATA6G_6 connectors?
