System

  1. I had a similar issue with DPC latency picking up the same sys file. I ended up turning off wake on lan ability on my ethernet adapter in windows and instantly saw a difference. This is especially a problem with certain intel ethernet NICs, YMMV.
  2. I have a feeling that bad grounding would be affecting other components as well or first. HDD's don't typically react to grounding issues as they are powered directly by the PSU and have no motherboard influence for power like RAM or a GPU would, in my experience. He should run a S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic to test the health of his HDDs.
  3. AFAIK, all that matters is same model and vram, clock speeds may matter but I heard that the faster card just downclocks to the same speed as the slower card. I never heard brand was an issue.
  4. Did you go into nvidia control panel and toggle sli mode on?
  5. Definitely test the RAM via memtest86. It seems like hit or miss whether it tries to use faulty ram sectors or not to boot. Maybe test 1 or 2 sticks at a time to try to narrow it down?
  6. If you don't mind sharing, what was the issue that you fixed on the mobo when you rebuilt the system?
  7. Wow, I did not know you could bypass the bootloader with partition magic. Very useful.
  8. Hah. That is a very interesting find. Hardware acceleration does have a relation to your GPU, not sure why it would reset the clock speeds. But I am glad your issue is resolved anyhow.
  9. Could you screenshot and upload it here what you are seeing in resource monitor?
  10. Could the source be from the power outlet? You tried the cord with a different computer but it would also be a different power outlet right? This is a very odd case.
  11. Your monitor isn't even powered by your PSU. I believe it is a matter of coincidence that it isn't happening with a powered down monitor.
