Hello all,
Current setup contains:
MB - Biostart x370gtn
Mem - Corsair Vengeance 16GB @3000
CPU - Ryzen 7 1700x
GPU - Nvidia 2060 Super
SSD - 500GB for system use
HDD - External 2TB drive
Been having issues with my PC where at startup for the first 15 minutes or so I'll have micro-stuttering and after opening internet tabs it can come back in small amounts. It'll happen whenever a video or game is happening as well. I've gone through clean installs of windows to updating drivers and BIOS to testing my drives and memory sticks. Best information I've found now with LatencyMon is that I'm getting the most faults from my DirectX Graphics Kernel (dxgkrnl.sys) and Storage Prt Driver (storport.sys). If anyone could potentially help I'd appreciate it. Below is my latest LatencyMon report.
CONCLUSION
_
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. 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 0:21:28 (h🇲🇲ss) on all processors.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
_
Computer name: MAIN-PC
OS version: Windows 10, 10.0, version 2009, build: 19044 (x64)
Hardware: X370GTN, BIOSTAR Group
CPU: AuthenticAMD AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight-Core Processor
Logical processors: 16
Processor groups: 1
RAM: 16333 MB total
_
CPU SPEED
_
Reported CPU speed: 3394 MHz
Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.
_
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): 101056.50
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 22.552946
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 101051.10
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 18.954431
_
REPORTED ISRs

Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation
Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0.047722

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): 100969.261049
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: storport.sys - Microsoft Storage Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation
Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0.036846

DPC count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 61
_
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: mbamservice.exe
Total number of hard pagefaults 24872
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 6474
Number of processes hit: 45
