From the recovery partition. It reformatted C: and re-installed OS.

Also, I ran the latency checker you mentioned. Max latency was 110. Average was around 60. It stated: "this machine should be able to handle realtime streaming audio and video data without dropouts".

Also, I retrieved updated drivers and inf. files from Intel website for the G33/31 chipset. It didn't provide drivers for the devices that are missing them. I installed the new chipset drivers w' no change in operation. The drivers it updated are reported as functioning fine in devmgr.

I don't recall if I posted this, but this afternoon I also updated the drivers for the integrated Realtek sound, video and NIC. With no change in performance.

DPCs and hardware interrupts are still hogging the CPU @100%.

I can't find the drivers for the devices listed in a prior post. All the files on the CD are zipped and my computer takes forever to unzip just one file, or open a window for that matter. I didn't see anything specific to what I need. I don't even know what those devices are for. Dell has an updated BIOS for my machine, but I'm not sure if I should attempt that just yet??

I'm going to link this post in the other forums so everyone knows what has happened. I don't want to ruffle anymore feathers.

Thanks again for your help.
