dontratemedown Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 make a new trace, please.pm sent,I left my pc on all last night, before I went to sleep I check dpc latency checker and it showed me in all red with some yellows.Woke up this morning to find myself in high greens low yellows, and random spikes of red. Power went off due to a large storm here and guess what, im back in all high reds. meh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also make sure all offloading options are enabled in the driver settings. Does this help?No its not the latest, but I downgraded from the latest version to see if that was the cause and downgrading/upgrading doesn't make a difference. If anything upgrading makes it worse....But, I downloaded tuneup utilites and it found some bad drivers from a program I used called sandboxie. After uninstalling it and making other changing im actually in the greens/yellows with spikes of red again. Ill go ahead and send you the trace of it.Im actually able to play music/games now without cracking/popping sounds.

MagicAndre1981 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Sandboxie is a tool to run programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.It is better, but still not optimal. You still have yellow and red bars which means that there are still issues:--------------------------DPC InfoTotal = 84850Elapsed Time, > 512 usecs AND <= 1024 usecs, 74, or 0.09%Elapsed Time, > 1024 usecs AND <= 2048 usecs, 29, or 0.03%Elapsed Time, > 2048 usecs AND <= 4096 usecs, 2, or 0.00%Total, 84850Total = 1753 for module USBPORT.SYSElapsed Time, > 512 usecs AND <= 1024 usecs, 49, or 2.80%Elapsed Time, > 1024 usecs AND <= 2048 usecs, 11, or 0.63%Total, 1753Total = 5600 for module ataport.SYSElapsed Time, > 256 usecs AND <= 512 usecs, 16, or 0.29%Elapsed Time, > 512 usecs AND <= 1024 usecs, 1, or 0.02%Total = 20 for module netbt.sysElapsed Time, > 1024 usecs AND <= 2048 usecs, 18, or 90.00%Elapsed Time, > 2048 usecs AND <= 4096 usecs, 2, or 10.00%Total, 20netbt.sys seems to cause the red spikes. Have you ever activated DriverVerifier to get better crash dumps when you have a BSOD (maybe sandboxie related)? If yes disable this, please:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.htmlI can see a lot of Verifier calls (ntkrnlmp.exe!VfKeIrqlLogLower, ntkrnlmp.exe!VerifierKeAcquireInStackQueuedSpinLock).

Then when I restarted my comp, I was completely in the red.....I feel real dumb.My spikes are now 500us and its constant around 80-200us......great job man I really appreciate it! My computer runs much better than ever before, and just yesterday I had my windows disc ready to format this computer cause I was so irritated.Life saver man, TYVM..

HSCIII Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) I'm using Sonar XL1 Producer with win 7 home premium ( 64) and the audio drop outs are killing me so its time to solve the issue! I followed the instructions to install the SDK Performance tool, which I ran using the cmd with the switches indicated in the tutorial. As soon as I has a major audio drop out, I ended the trace ,creating the .etl file.I continued to follow the instructions and I think I got to the correct place to identify the problem, but I’m not sure exactly what to doI have attached screen shots of the graph, the section I selected and the summary table.If someone can look at them and tell me what they see or if I have to do something else I would be sincerely appreciativeI'm sure about the add image to post feature because I don't thing the info is readbale so I hope the files are still available to be downloadedThank you very muchHSC III Edited May 6, 2012 by HSCIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSCIII Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Fuirst thank you so much for helping me.I made all the update as you suggested. I haven't had a chance to push the compute using Sonar Xl1, however, I have yet to expereiance any drops when just playing audio,wheter its itunes of a different file format in a different player.Prior to the updates the drop outs where coming fairly often as of the last 2 weeks.However after running for 4-5 minutes the Latency monitor applciation states i have issues will likely cause drop outs,clicks etc. ( see below)I have stopped using my powered USB port excpr when its explcitily needed but it looks like USB is still a source of issues. In device manager there looked to be way too many instances of generic USB Root Hub, but I'm not sure what action to takeI'll run the test to create another trace file so should you request it,I'll it hready to sendthanks againCONCLUSION_________________________________________________________________________________________________________Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks.

kenth Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hello,I have an 2 units of Acer Veriton S670.They both have this problem of high CPU usage (60 to 80 percent) while idle.It is due to hardware interrupts, but the DPC Latency tool doesn't show any spike (high red bars). It just remains in the low green area. (Hope I'm making sense).How should I proceed from here?More info:unit 1 is running on WinXP SP3, I have run windows update and selected all the critical updates. I also have installed all the latest drivers.unit 2 is running on Win 7. At first this had the same problem, but it went away after I installed all the recent drivers. Both units have ATI Radeon 4350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
