Hi all, I'm having a strange issue which has been ongoing for around 5 months, random times when gaming (i cant narrow it down to anything specific reason as to why it triggers), i will get huge dpc latency which obviously makes my frames in game drop to 10 to 50 from 120. I figured out the...

thanks for the reply. so currently ive done multiple malware and adware scans removed all of the threats. Both HDDs work on my laptop with no issues at all, they work perfectly. i was also able to install the driver of a webcam, so it seems limited to mass storage devices. Even a USB stick of a...
