DPC Latency high problem

Hi, my computer will have high DPC latency when the CPU has a higher load. I also have a USB audio device connected but i tried unplugging it and it didnt work. I have also tried using a pci card but still dosent work. I also tried reinstalling and updating my NIC driver and it still doesn't work.

Specs:

Asus P8P67 Pro B3

i5 2500k@4.7ghz

2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1600MHz

Corsair TX 750M

Here is the report from LatencyMon

CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system seems to have difficulty handling real-time audio and other tasks. You may experience drop outs, clicks or pops due to buffer underruns. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates. 
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for  0:00:09  (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

Measured CPU speed:                                   3119.0 MHz (approx.)

Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.

Highest measured interrupt to process latency (s):   1002.581080
Average measured interrupt to process latency (s):   1.413173

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (s):       43.752378
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (s):       0.348979


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
MEASURED SMI, IPI AND CPU STALLS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The SMI, IPI and CPU stalls value represents the highest measured interval that a CPU did not respond while having its maskable interrupts disabled.

Highest measured SMI or CPU stall (s)                0.310301


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 REPORTED ISRs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.

Highest ISR routine execution time (s):              23.939394
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time:       USBPORT.SYS - USB 1.1 & 2.0 Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total ISR routine time (%):          0.028261
Driver with highest ISR total time:                   SCSIPORT.SYS - SCSI Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in ISRs (%)                          0.083933

ISR count (execution time <250 s):                   13519
ISR count (execution time 250-500 s):                0
ISR count (execution time 500-999 s):                0
ISR count (execution time 1000-1999 s):              0

ISR count (execution time >=4000 s):                 0


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
REPORTED DPCs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.

Highest DPC routine execution time (s):              110.577576
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time:       USBPORT.SYS - USB 1.1 & 2.0 Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total DPC routine time (%):          0.195511

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.


Process with highest pagefault count:                 none

Total number of hard pagefaults                       0
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process:          0

Hi,

make a xperf trace [1] to diagnostic the DPC issues. Please upload the zipped xperf etl file to your SkyDrive [2] and post a link here.

I'll take a look at it.

I can't see any issue:

highest DPCs are between 128 and 256s and this is good.

Do you have an issues like Audio/Video drops?

sometimes i experience problems like subtitle timing problems and audio spike

run the trace at startup, minimize the Windows and after you got the issues, go back to the cmd and stop the trace.

zip and upload this new trace.
