Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP
Intel Q6600
8 GB memory
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 650 Ti BOOST
2x Crucial C300 64GB in RAID0 for os (worked perfectly on win7/8.x)
Samsung Spinpoint F4EG 2TB
WD Caviar Green 3TB
As you can see this is pretty ancient hardware...
In terms of new drivers I only have/had to download the latest Geforce driver on a new install. Windows took care of the rest. And this worked just fine on win7/8.x for so long. Until win10 that is. The Asus drivers available for my mb are outdated by six years and Intel has no new storage control drivers for my setup.
I've tried LatencyMon for some time but it's difficult to pin it down. In my case its either ndis.sys, usbport.sys, dxgkrnl.sys etc. that's causing problems, it's completely random. However I get loads of hard pagefaults everytime when running LatencyMon.
Here is something strange.. I have steam installed with a few games. All of them installed on the os ssd. I NEVER get an audio stutter while playing graphic intensive games, like cod ghosts.
This makes me think that the fault lies somewhere in the Microsoft sphere. Problems handling active multible drives or something?
