Here is the output I have from LatencyMon

-----------------------------------_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system appears to be suitable for handling real-time audio and other tasks without dropouts.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:07:56 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Computer name: TX
OS version: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, 6.1, build: 7601 (x64)
Hardware: MS-7759, MSI, Z77MA-G45 (MS-7759)
CPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
Logical processors: 4
Processor groups: 1
RAM: 8145 MB total


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CPU SPEED
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reported CPU speed: 3400,0 MHz
Measured CPU speed: 2146,0 MHz (approx.)

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): 638,176123
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 0,949978

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 516,504036
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 0,386753


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
MEASURED SMI, IPI AND CPU STALLS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The SMI, IPI and CPU stalls value represents the highest measured interval that a CPU did not respond while having its maskable interrupts disabled.

Highest measured SMI or CPU stall (µs) 0,602337


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
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): 114,327059
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: ataport.SYS - ATAPI Driver Extension, Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0,095519
Driver with highest ISR total time: hal.dll - Hardware Abstraction Layer DLL, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0,229420

ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 852854
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 500-999 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 2000-3999 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): 707,470588
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 320.49 , NVIDIA Corporation

Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0,033608
Driver with highest DPC total execution time: nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 320.49 , NVIDIA Corporation

Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0,092404

DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 1548438
DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 500-999 µs): 15
DPC count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 0
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: chrome.exe

Total number of hard pagefaults 143
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 60
Highest hard pagefault resolution time (µs): 69777,395882
Total time spent in hard pagefaults (%): 0,013192
Number of processes hit: 4

-------------------------------------

Total execution times are very high for nvidia, directx, atapi and hardware abstraction layer, is this a problem???

System:
-Corsair Carbide Series 200r Case (with only default in and out fans)
-Z77ma-g45
-intel i5 3570k -no OC
-asus gtx 660 DirectCu II -no OC
-Kingston genesis hyperx 1600 mhz CL9 2x4096 MB
-Highpower elements 700w 80+ bronze
-Western Digital Caviar Black 500 gb
-THERMALTAKE CONTAC30 LGA775/1155/1156/1366/2011 & AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1 CPU COOLER


I also have a wireless mouse lag/unresponsiveness issue with my logitech m195 and m235 mouses regardless of which usb slot I plug it into. This problem ceases when using a PS2 mouse.



Here is the report after 5 minutes of gaming: (it got worse)

No it is new, actually the whole system is just 2 days old, every part is new as well. I asked my friends to download and run this program and theirs reported high dpc latencies as well so I guess the program is in fact faulty? Because I can game just fine.

It is all green, mostly low in 25-70 range, and sometimes -not very often- going up to 650 (max). So I am all good?


ps. my BIOS version is default version, I am afraid of updating it, this is my first desktop pc.
 
do you have any other software running in the background on your desktop that you have installed?

updating the bios is not bad, it is usually better to do it with a new motherboard if its on first release bios as it will always tend to fix issues.

Not really, realtek hd audio, nvidia control panel/geforce experience running only. I will put zip file of update to USB then go to BIOS, update it from USB, then I flash it and reset CMOS? I am not really sure how this whole thing goes.
 
if it has a usb update system then use that, it should be an option in the bios to update from usb on most newer motherboard, make sure nothing else is on the stick except the bios update file.

once its done and restarts i would hard reset the cmos just incase, usually the cmos is reset when the bios updates by the updater but its better to be safe.
