Hi guys, not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I'm out of options... I'm having major issues with the DPC on my computer. Before and after I installed any programs on w8.1 i have been having audio drops and cutouts, I have tried: * Installing the newest sound drivers * Resetting the BIOS configurations * Installing the newest Motherboard drivers from Intel * Installing newest drivers from Nvidia * Cleaning my computer from dust as well as cleaning the RAM and graphics card contacts * Discharging my speakers of current The problem still persists after all that. I checked using xperf and found that the "culprit" is ntoskrnl.exe (at least I think that is what it says...) I'm running on a pretty old customized computer: Motherboard: GigaByte G41M-Combo Ver 2.0 CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz Display card: Nvidia Geforce 630 GT 1GB RAM: 8GB My sound card is in my Motherboard.
