This is starting to get ridiculous. I've made some kind of progress (even though, I have no idea how). I disabled the wifi adapter, and started tracing. There wasn't a single spike for like 3-4 minutes, I stopped it. Then about 5 minutes later, there was a spike for 1(!) second, and there wasn't any since that. The strange is that there were no spikes even when the wifi adapter was enabled. So basically, the spikes somehow disappeared, but the pops in the sound are still here, regardless of the wifi adapter. Sorry if it's hard to understand. Basically, there were 2-3 sec spikes periodically, when the wifi adapter was enabled (there were no pops). When I disabled it, the pops appeared, and the spikes were still there. Now the spikes are gone, but there are pops, even when the wifi adapter is enabled. By the way, I made two tracings, one with the wifi adapter enabled, one with disabled. (just in case you can use them) Disabled: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6kplr32zra1117z/DPC_Interrupt.rar Enabled: http://www.mediafire.com/download/wqk6igs4pt4tn81/DPC_Interrupt2.rar Edit: The pops are gone, and there are still no spikes, so it seems my problem has been solved, but I would be grateful if you saw the graphs to see if there is an anomaly. Anyways, thanks for your help, your patience, and for being able to handle my incompetence:)

I did, and it's not working. It's very strange, because I removed all the Atheros drivers using Drive Store Explorer, and I still have an internet connection (I removed the network drivers too, obviously), and my spikes are still caused by ndis.sys. So basically, I have internet connection without a network driver. Edit: Now I get the pops again (which seems reasonable, because I got them before too, when the wireless adapter was disabled), and most of the time my DPC Latency is around 3000-4000, and goes down below that for only a few seconds

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.

I tried 10.0.0.227, but it didn't work. By the way, when I uninstalled all the Atheros drivers, rebooted the system, and I still got the spikes, so maybe something else causes it.

I installed the old driver just because the other didn't work, and I needed internet connection, but before I tried to install the new one, I uninstalled the old. http://www.mediafire.com/?bgwjj5bhf4k5je5

I did what you said, and when I try to install the driver after the reboot, it gives me a BSoD (I can give you the picture if you need it). Here's the log file. http://www.mediafire.com/?91yrhi7tfswnsl8

Well, it failed (surprisingly), so here's the file. http://www.mediafire.com/?pdlvsuqg0a2x82h

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.

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.
