ndis.sys causing high DPC Latency

Recommended Posts

Hi!
I was playing, when I noticed that about every minute, for about 10 seconds my fps went down to about 10-12, and with a little searching on the internet, i figured out it was because of the high DPC Latency. I downloaded LatencyMon and DPC Latency Checker, and it showed that most of the time it was around
150-200 μs, but about every minute, it went up to 3000-3500 μs. I checked the execution times with LatencyMon, and the highest was ndis.sys with 5.2 ms. I disabled the wireless adapter, hoping that it will solve the problem, but it didn't work. I still get these spikes, and now the highest was rspLLL64.sys with 0.5 ms. Strangely, I didn't get any pops and cracks while listening to music, as long as the wireless adapter was enabled. After I disabled it, they appeared. I tried updating the wireless and the audio drivers, but they didn't solve the problem. I've been searching for the solution for about 1-2 weeks, but i didn't find it. I would be grateful if any of you could help me.

PS: Sorry if my english is bad, it's not my native language.

update the driver for your Atheros WIFI

You use the old version "9.0.0.202.

Get the driver version 10 from here:

Well, I thought I used the latest version, because I installed it a long time ago, and it said it was successful, but never mind. However, I tried to install it now, and of couse it doesn't work. I tried it a couple times, and it says Install Failed. I even uninstalled the previous driver completely before installing the new one, but it didn't work either.

Windows thinks the driver is already installed, but can't find it:

     inf:      {SetupCopyOEMInf: c:\users\brajenful.brajenful-pc\desktop\win7-10.0.0.234-whql\netathrx.inf} 21:32:15.835!    inf:           Package was already in store: skipping Driver Store add     inf:           Driver Store location: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netathrx.inf_amd64_neutral_3d20c0e894328962\netathrx.inf     inf:           Published Inf Path: C:\Windows\INF\oem3.inf!    inf:      Unable to load INF: 'C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netathrx.inf_amd64_neutral_3d20c0e894328962\netathrx.inf'(00000003)!    inf:      Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified.!!!  inf:      Could not load INF 'C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netathrx.inf_amd64_neutral_3d20c0e894328962\netathrx.inf'.!!!  inf:      Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified.

use pnpultil to uninstall this OEM3.inf:

pnputil.exe -d oem3.inf

reboot adn try to install the new driver again. If this fails, too upload the new log.

I see that you still used the old driver (Opened INF: 'c:\users\brajenful.brajenful-pc\desktop\wireless lan_atheros_9.0.0.202_win7x86x64\ndis6xwin7\netathrx.inf' ([strings]))

Use this tool to kill Atheros drivers:

Which BSOD did you get? Can you share the .dmp file from C:\Windows\Minidump?

I think it doesn't because I reinstalled the system a couple of times, and i had to install all the drivers every time. Furthermore, I killed all the network drivers before I tested the DPC Latency.
