hello guys im new here.

I'mhaving a problem, my pc started to go a bit crazy for the past 2 days.. maybe i know this post has been asked multiple times but i think everybody has a similar/different problem and i want to adress mine ... still having this famous

Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. At least one detected problem appears to be network related. In case you are using a WLAN adapter, try disabling it to get better results. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:27:10 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

not hearing any pops or clicked ... updated my bios so now i want you guys opinion... the PROS please help

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.

Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 12719,80
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 9,292712

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 12713,40
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 3,210263


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
REPORTED ISRs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.

Highest ISR routine execution time (µs): 404,958333
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: HDAudBus.sys - High Definition Audio Bus Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0,010156
Driver with highest ISR total time: HDAudBus.sys - High Definition Audio Bus Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0,011232

ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 220298
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 500-1000 µs): 4
ISR count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
REPORTED DPCs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.

Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 2089,743827
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: ndis.sys - NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification), Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0,062451
Driver with highest DPC total execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0,114301

DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 1767200
DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 500-10000 µs): 809
DPC count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 13
DPC count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 2
DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.

NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

Process with highest pagefault count: explorer.exe

Total number of hard pagefaults 73566
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 24434
Number of processes hit: 129

Solution
its going from direct x kernel to ndis the longer i stay the latencymon on the more errors i get XD sorry for spamming this post i am pissed
You're playing Black Desert Online on Intel integrated graphics. LOL
What exactly are your expectations there?

Did you even check game system requirements?

Reference Post #20 - that is not the Disk Management screen.

And regarding " it just activates while im gaming ..." (Post 26).

What is meant by that? Are you saying that the GPU only works (activates ?) when you play games?
i have my integrated gpu that works all the time and i got my gtx that works when it demands more from my graphic card i guess ?? my laptop has been workink like that since day 1 and now the biggest error is from my graphic card driver hahahah this laptop is making me going crazy

this is now the onlyh issue and its been running for 1h man i cant narrow errors down cuz it switching everytime from an error to another ... i will try to figure out what u said about post #20 . thanks guys for trying to understand my errors

Yes. Disk Management showing plenty of free space available on C: and D: drives.

Other things:

1) Regarding: "titus powershell command to optimise my laptop" - please provide the link that you used.

I found this link:

https://christitus.com/windows-tool/

Is that the source? Appears to be over two years old.

2) Has "dism" and "sfc /scannow" been run on the laptop?

3) Open Reliability History/Monitor. Set View by to Weeks. Take a full screenshot and post.

What I believe is happening is that there has been too much done to the system and things are going astray. Especially so if tinkering via Powershell.

You may need a clean install and then just leave windows alone for a bit to get itself caught up with updates etc..

If the laptop does not meet game requirements then attempts to tweak it into doing so or appearing to do so are likely to lead to any number of problems.
 
The task manager can be told to view all of the cores. That particular image is just of the CPU as a whole. I suspect that when you change the view to show all cores that the first core will have a far higher load. Lacking hardware interrupts to any core other than the first core would probably put a huge load on hardware that uses hardware drivers (software could migrate cores, but hard not if what I think is happening is the case). This would be the realm of something like a disabled IO-APIC.
