I just added another Hard Drive to my system and installed Windows 7 on it, even without the drivers check out my nice new results! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v8h3wom0179xw58/rIIE8uPAAO I can really really really hear that there is no distortion at all on the games or in any programs but I thought i'd link to dropbox just to check with you that my ears aren't lying to me! I did get this warning when I did it though http://imgur.com/UC0keUc but everything looks realyl good in latencymon with really small green bars instead of the max length red bars I usually get in Windows 8 I'm far far far away from installing all my drivers so I think i'll make a system restore point while everything is working and then do all my windows updates and drivers installs. To recap what I have so far Windows Framework 4.5 (required for GPU Drivers) Latest GPU Drivers and the LAN Drivers from the Motherboard CD (couldnt connect to the Internet otherwise) that is all the drivers I have. This is with both GPU's installed still, but to answer your question it wasn't as noticable with 1 GPU but I think it was still there. I think something on my system didn't have good Windows 8.1 Drivers, it was hard to say what it was because I tried to reinstall everything that I could think of. Now I just have to figure out how to safely wipe Windows 8.1 off of my sysem(unless I shouldn't? the **** thing was alot of money) I have this terrible luck where windows decides to put all my Master Boot Records on the wrong Hard Drive. I know I should unplug all the other Hard Drives when I do a fresh Windows install to prevent that very thing but its so much extra effort! with my luck the boot records will be on the Hard Drive with windows 8.1 on it and it will kill everything!

i'm using a http://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/Z87PRO/#support_Download in the first PCI-Slot I have a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-348-SP , in the second slot I did plan to have a second identical card but it didn't physically fit so the second card is this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-133-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

No sorry it didn't work. I'm almost ready to try all sorts of crazy things like using Windows 7 instead. I'm certain that I seated the second video card in correctly and that all the PCI-E Power Cables were plugged in properly. The extension Lead arrived and I plugged my PC in from somewhere else in the house but it didn't help. If there is a problem with the electricity then its all the sockets in my home.

http://i.imgur.com/LlOad7T.jpg I changed from balanced to power, was this the option you meant? I also then went into the advanced options and this was set to "maximum power saving" so i turned it to off http://imgur.com/zOxVTKE

http://imgur.com/6WxL4hI This one is the screenshot that didn't upload properly last time, I do see that the second GPU is sharing with something called PCI Express Root Complex could that mean anything? I couldn't find anything on google about power saving options for the GPU so I don't know where to start turning them off. http://i.imgur.com/y7vm1zy.jpg here is the GPU's in the IRQ view of msinfo32.exe. Good news is that the new extension lead is set to arrive on Tuesday and hopefully will help if electricity is the problem

Sorry for the late reply. I've split all the information into two ( three) screenshots (messed up the third upload, I'll need to plug the PC back in to get it) http://i.imgur.com/09o67SI.jpg - http://i.imgur.com/omq7ljy.jpg - It seems like there is alot of stuff sharing, is this the cause of everything?

the listing for both GPU's are 0xFFFFFFF9 (-7) not a single thing in device manager that has a resource tab had the same IRQ as anything else, Although every USB device had a power management tab with "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" ticked and i'm using a USB Lexicon Alpha sound device so I turned that off. I couldnt find msinf032.exe but as I did all the checking in device manager I assume that is all the same anyway right? EDIT: Power saving wasn't messing with my USB sound device and the problem was still there, but it was worth a shot.

; Ah now i'm really worried about the plug socket my PC is plugged into I had one GPU in my PC and the sound issues were present and not too bad, but then my other GPU arrived and I've added that in too and now the issues are really noticeable as you can see.This was on the 13.12 drivers. So one thing I did was I downoaded the 14.2beta drivers yesterday before I made my post here and so those 14.2beta drivers are the ones I am already running http://i.imgur.com/85xMCVa.jpg To give a small bit of background I have got a refund on three (!) prebuilt systems because of various bluescreen problems and PSU's dying (and poor service) but this fourth computer I build with my own two hands because I was sick of poorly build PC's from these companies but its starting to look like these plug sockets are the problem, they were not put in by a qualified electrician and could be the entire problem with not enough wattage or power draw. I'm think i'm going to disconnect my computer now before any damage is done and read your next reply from my laptop while I see if I can use another room in the house A couple of examples of why I suspect the plugs, if you've ever used some of these "home plugs" before for internet http://i.imgur.com/7I8QWO0.jpg the plug sockets in this room at the only ones where I can't get anywhere near my full speed (1mb instead of 75mb) and also If I try to charge my laptop up here I get a error onscreen that says "unrecognised AC Power, Plug in somewhere else"

Thank you very much for the fast reply and offer to help! I wasn't sure where to upload it and then I remembered that on the old forum you asked people to use dropbox, https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6xph3e85ghnt7ja/qcrRkaC4Z8 this is my first time installing and using it so please let me know if this link is bad Edit: Added the RAR file at the bottom which is simply a RAR of the two files there, DPC_Interrupt and fileversion.txt

Hi, i'm looking for a little help with my sound issues too, but my Windows 8.1 Performance Analyzer has a slightly diffrent list at the top (no graph button) so I got a little stuck http://social.technet.microsoft.com, I read your reason for leaving on their website and came here to get help directly from the person who knows this stuff Basically if I sit on my desktop and open up a MP3, or a H.264 encoded MP4 or teamspeak everything is fine. As soon as I run a computer game it distorts all the sound coming from the game itself, and any MP3's, MP4's or Teamspeak that I'm running at the same time. And here is the driver versions using xperf -I DPC_Interrupt.etl -a fileversion > fileversion.txt like at the end of your origional post. Just as a note there might be something wrong with the electricity coming out of the plug socket that the PC is plugged into, I'm looking to change rooms or call an electrician sometime but I'm looking to see if its a driver problem first before I go spending money on electicians or lugging my PC around the house
