• Dell XPS 15 DPC Latency Spikes
    0 replies, posted
I just bought a Dell XPS 15 (L502x) a few weeks ago, and recently I ran into a problem where I would have huge DPC Latency spikes; my audio would stutter, my mouse/whatever I was doing would hang. This is random as to when it happens, sometimes it won't happen for 20 minutes, other times I will literally have a minute long attack where I simply can't do anything. Sometimes the audio spikes are quiet, sometimes they are loud too. I've done research and a lot of people have this problem, but there is no definite fix. Because it's a DPC Latency problem I assume it's a problem with my drivers, so I went through the task of disabling each driver one by one. I used the computer for a while with each individual driver disabled, and none seemed to do anything. At that point I did a factory reset of my computer. That seemed to have fixed the problem for a while, until one day it started up again. I thought that it might have been something I downloaded, but that shouldn't be the case if it's a problem with drivers. All of my drivers are up to date, I have the most recent BIOS, I have all of the cores of my computer on (some people say that fixes it), it's not WiFi because it still happens when my WiFi is disabled. I have no idea what it could possibly and Dell support is no help as usual. Maybe you guys can help me out?
