Huge latency spikes
Huge latency spikes
Hi all, I'm at the end of my rope here. So far I've tried all solutions and potential fixes I could find till now. I really hope someone has the permanent solution. Small recap.
Beginnning of this year, January, I was getting constant latency spikes. I've been tracking them with LatencyMon and it goes all over the place. Tried all sort of fixes nothing worked. 1st of April (no joke) I did a full Windows reinstallation. Things were looking steady after that and was not having issues until the 11th of June. And it sort of looks like these latency issues progress over time. Is that even possible?
In the first stages a reboot, would most of the time, solve the problem but as it progresses this is no longer the case. I need multiple reboots and then I have a running system without latency spikes. To me it also looks like more spikes pop up after a 'cold' boot at the start of the day.
The 11th of June I changed the GPU and Audio core with the Interrupt-Affinity Tool. The weeks after that I've been experimenting with booting and having certain services turned off. It worked for a while but somehow the issue returned again.
This morning I uninstalled the GPU and Audio drivers in Safe Mode with DDU. And after reboot I'm still getting the lateny spikes. So I'm not entirely sure if it's a GPU issue or not...
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Hi!
You're asking about the type of BIOS or which specific version to use. I'm currently running ROG UEFI BIOS version 2801, but it seems this isn't the latest release. I might need to update this.
Regarding the issue, I should have clarified that earlier. I experience audio drops every five seconds and my mouse stutters simultaneously. If these problems weren't obvious, they wouldn't both be bothersome. It's really frustrating for me.
Yesterday I upgraded the BIOS to the newest release. I checked this discussion, where I installed and enabled 'Process Lasso' & 'Park Control' to run my powerplan at peak performance and lock down my cores. [SOLVED] - Experiencing extremely high latency in latencymon after booting, especially when idle Hello, I've been encountering some strange problems lately, such as audio drops and stuttering in games. I decided to test my latency and the findings indicate elevated latency. It appears to occur around 2 minutes after turning on my PC, and I'm unsure what's causing it. forums. Since I'm not sure if the issue is software or hardware-related, I'm reviewing this thread as well. I noticed my DRAM settings were set to auto. I changed them to XMP and am now trying to determine if there are RAM issues. https://forums.
After the bios update, you might need to reset CMOS. You can find instructions at the provided link.
The update itself should have cleared the BIOS settings right? I'll try clearing CMOS when issue appears again.
Small update about the current status. I've been running a stable RAM profile so far. So for now, I don't think it's faulty hardware.
With the current changes only the driver 'ACPI.SYS' was causing high latency. Although not causing audio lag/spikes. After some investigating I found this post about disabling some devices in Device Manager. I disabled all audio devices except 'Realtek® Audio' and till now everything is looking stable. Maybe some Windows audio driver was causing issues between devices. Not sure.
