Hello LTT community,
It's been an ongoing problem of high dpc latency(random lag spikes/crackling sound) which seems to be a cause of windows 10 and NIC conflict.
This problem occurred immediately after upgrading to windows 10( never happened on windows 7). During upgrade no hardware changes were made. I ran test on program "LatencyMon" which identified "ndis.sys" driver causing high dpc latency http://imgur.com/oKp3Nnw. After a long time of troubleshooting i found out that lag spikes occur only when p2p client(utorrent, bittorrent) is running. I tried many solutions: fresh windows install, different p2p clients, bought new network adapter(TP-Link TG-3468) with no success. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hardware:
Asrock Z77 Pro4-M
Intel i5-3470
+ TP-Link TG-3468
