Yeah, I agree. The BIOS was never the issue here. As a matter of fact, I believe my APU was the culprit. I recently installed a new GPU to replace my motherboard's built in APU and that seems to have solved my DPC issue. My latency measurements are MUCH lower now and I'm no longer hearing...

Damn it, nevermind. I just realized the BIOS update I'm trying to run is for Linux. Can't believe I missed that. Man, am I an idiot. Thanks anyway, everybody.

Thanks for the tip. Didn't realize you had to make it bootable first. I have since downloaded "Rufus" and re-formatted it correctly. The damn instructions didn't say anything about that. Friggin' Acer. Anyway, I manged to get into the DOS folder off my USB and run "BIOS_DOS.bat" and things...

Hey everybody. Lately, I've been trying to fix my high DPC latency issues and I was about to update my BIOS to see if that would fix the problem. Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble getting the update to run. I'll provide the instructions I'm trying to follow below. I can get all the way to...

Mystery solved. Turns out the crackling/freezing was being caused because of a conflict between the USB ports on my computer and my APU. I solved the problem by removing my ATI display adapter driver. The sound is crystal clear now and super crisp. I'm just about to put in a GTX 970, so...

Hmm, maybe it is heat related then. I'm actually just about to move my computer into a new case, with some much better fans to boot, so maybe that will solve it? At the moment, I'm using a USB DAC connected to my computer, with a pair of ATH M50 headphones for listening via the DAC. I guess I...

Alright, well I'll try that next and report back to see if it made any difference. The one thing I don't understand is, why would the audio up clear up if its set to "Power Saver" in power options? Surely, that must be a clue as to what's causing this, right? Changing the hertz options in...

Based on that program's readings it would appear that my temps are oscillating between 7°C to 15°C, which is a much more relieving measurement. Thanks for the link. Back on topic, though. Do you think updating my BIOS will get rid of my audio/video related problems?

Thanks for the suggestion, but that program didn't work for me. I have an AMD CPU and it seems that program only works with Intel CPUs. I just checked with "CPUID HW Monitor" instead and the temps still read as 80°C. Could it still be a misreading? If I switch to "Power Saver" in power options...

Here's a screenshot of my hardware info. Not sure what's up with those temperatures.

Jeez, according to "Speccy" my CPU is running between 77°C to 80°C at IDLE! I do have my PC set to high performance, but still. That doesn't seem normal. What do you guys think?

I just re-installed Windows not too long ago and all my drivers are running and up-to-date. The only thing I haven't updated is my BIOS. Do you think that would be causing all this?

Hey everybody. I've been experiencing an issue recently, where, whenever I select my computer to operate in either "Balanced" or "High performance" mode via power options the audio will become very crackly and the video will freeze every minute or so for a few seconds. If I set the computer to...

Thanks for replying everybody. Luckily, I managed to solve the issue by re-installing Windows.

Can't, I'm afraid. Apparently that reserved partition can't be moved or resized, it can only be copied. I'd have to copy that reserved partition over to my 901MB one and then delete the original in order to move the whole thing over to my C: drive. However, since that reserved partition is...

Hello everybody. Recently, I've been having a lot of trouble with trying to merge a partition of 901MB in unallocated space into my C: drive, but I can"t seem to move them together. The unallocated space is furthest to the left and my C: drive is furthest to the right with my 3 system...
