Hi everyone. for the past 5 month since i build the system i have been experiencing issues with it, the most recent one being FPS drops out of nowhere, that's why i downloaded latencymon. Unfortunately i have no idea how to make sense out of the summary it gave me so I'm posting it here. if anyone is willing to help out I'm be very happy!
Here are the results and my pc specs:
GPU-MSI SHADOW 2x RTX 5070
CPU-I7 14700k
RAM-Corsair vengeance 32gb ddr5
MOBO: Asus TUF z790 BTF WiFi 7
SSD-P310 1tb
PSU-MSI MAG 850w

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 0:21:48 (h:mm Confused s) on all processors.

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): 1673.20
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 9.814957
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 1505.70
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 3.117480

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.
NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.
Process with highest pagefault count: system
Total number of hard pagefaults 6989
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 5693
Number of processes hit: 29

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Here are some details about your setup:
RAM-Corsair vengeance 32gb ddr5
SSD-P310 1tb
Consider using Crucial's Storage Executive Manager to check for pending firmware updates.
PSU-MSI MAG 850w
Is this the power supply you're using?
How is your processor being cooled? What is the case model and make?
What temperatures do you notice when frame drops occur?
Over the past five months, I've faced several issues—most recently FPS drops. I downloaded latencymon to help.
When was the system built? Have you encountered any other problems since then? Was this an upgrade? Did you reinstall your OS drive or recycle it?

RAM kit information is available at the provided link. The SSD driver on Crucial’s site has been updated. The MAG 850GL PSU is currently in use. A Thermaltake 240mm AIO cooler is mounted at the top of the case, and the case model is Thermaltake Ceres 350 MX. The build date is from September 10, 2025. Everything is new, and the OS key was purchased from a retailer. Initially, I experienced random non-persistent VGA debug light issues and stuttering, but after upgrading the monitor, updating the BIOS, and swapping the HDMI cable for a DisplayPort cable, those problems were resolved. Stuttering and frame drops have consistently occurred in all games. When CPU usage increases and frames drop, temperatures rarely exceed 80°C—especially in Elden Ring. They could be higher in more demanding titles. Following the BIOS update on first boot, the PC restarted itself, causing crashes until XMP was disabled. At one point, I saw Kernel-Power Event 61 in Event Viewer. After re-enabling XMP, stability improved, and I began using LatencyMon to monitor the issue. I also use Thermal Grizzly KryoSheets instead of paste, though its relevance is unclear. If you have any suggestions on how to fix my PC so it runs smoothly, I would greatly appreciate your help.

It looks from that LatencyMon output as though you might be suffering a (common) conflict between the Realktek audio driver (HDAudBus.sys), reported as the longest running ISR, and the Nvidia audio driver (Nvvad64v.sys). The Nvidia audio driver is part of the graphics driver package (Nvlddmkm.sys) which may be why that is reported as the longest running DPC. (The ISR - Interrupt Service Routine - is the front-end of device interrupt processing, and the DPC - Deferred Procedure Call - is the back-end of device interrupt processing).
The first thing to check is whether there is an update for the Realetk audio driver (check your motherboard driver website) and/or an updated Nvidia graphics driver (check the Nvidia driver site).
You don't need the Nvidia audio driver unless you are sending audio over HDMI. If you don't do that then you don't need the Nvidia audio driver. To remove it use DDU to fully remove the old driver and then download and install the latest Nvidia driver. Select a custom (advanced) install and uncheck the audio driver in the selection list. That will stop the conflict.

The Two Pro Elite has already achieved success.
Make sure the sound driver and motherboard driver are updated, and apply the Motherboard BIOS Firmware Update.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, then the recommended solution is to completely erase the device from orbit. However, in this scenario, having a sample MP3, .flac or MP4 file on a USB drive and installing the audio driver first will help test it.

I’ve already tried DDU and set up a fresh driver. When I return from work, I plan to remove the driver once more and reinstall it without checking NVIDIA HD Audio. Then I’ll look for Realtek updates on their site, as the motherboard’s page hasn’t been updated in a while. I’ll update you on my progress.

I believe we should gather additional troubleshooting information. Could you please download the SysnativeBSODCollectionApp and place it on your Desktop? After running it, upload the generated zip file to a cloud service with a link included. The app compiles all available troubleshooting data, which should simplify diagnosing your issue. It does not gather any personal information. We may uncover useful clues within the collected data.

You can review the contents of the zip file before uploading, as most files are text documents. Please avoid modifying or deleting anything. For a detailed explanation of each file, refer to the provided link.

Also, head to the folder C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports. There you might find several subfolders. Browse through them and upload any .dmp files you locate. These are the recovery logs Windows creates after successful fixes, which could also be helpful.

Do i need to simulate the stutter before or while running the program.
Edit:
Here are the results without simulating the issue:

Also, the LiveKernelReports folder is empty even when I select show hidden files.
I would also appreciate it if you could provide a way to send me a cold beer as a thank you for your help!

Thanks for the information. The logs show several BSODs, but only one dump was included during the upload. If you run a disk cleanup tool, make sure to exclude dumps—otherwise nothing else will help.

In that single dump, there are three key points that could affect your issue:
1. The BSOD recorded on 3rd Dec 2025 seems linked to the SteamStreamingSpeakers.sys driver, which handles audio. This suggests it might be connected to the latency you're experiencing. The driver version is outdated, from 2017 before Windows 11 was released...

Information from resource tables:
I would consider updating that driver if possible. Removing it might help confirm if it's the cause of your latency.
2. Also in that dump, the EasyAntiCheat driver EasyAntiCheat.sys disappeared right before the BSOD—this behavior is quite unusual. Moreover, EasyAntiCheat is known to trigger BSODs on certain systems, as these anti-cheat tools sometimes do. It could be useful to uninstall it to check if it was contributing to your latency problems.
3. Your RAM is clocked at 6000MHz, which is their intended speed but still an overclock. The standard DDR5 speed for your i7-14700k is 4800MHz. This difference might cause instability. You might want to disable the XMP profile so it runs at 4800MHz, and see if the latency issues improve.

I don't rely on a disk cleanup utility; I only remove files from the trash, which is strange given the BSODs in the logs—I haven't seen them since setting up the rig. Also, the XMP was turned off until yesterday because after the BIOS update it was leading to crashes in games. Still, I'm planning to disable XMP again and check if updating or adjusting the Steamstreaming speakers driver helps. I'll let you know if it makes a difference.
