Have you tried updating your drivers yet, especially the sound and Display?
Constant freezing with seemingly no reason

"Some device drivers on this machine behave bad and will probably cause drop-outs in real-time audio and/or video streams. To isolate the misbehaving driver use Device Manager and disable/re-enable various devices, one at a time. Try network and W-LAN adapters, modems, internal sound devices, USB host controllers, etc."
I suppose it can't help narrow down which driver it is?

no it won't directly tell you which driver but you can use it to narrow it down. Basically you have to have the program running while you disable specific non-critical drivers real time in the device manager one by one until the lag spikes go away.
If you are getting that long-winded message, that is a good sign you have drivers causing lag. I'm willing to bet it's your wireless card. Disable wireless card and check the results.

Don't base it on the message though, you'll need to see if you get the lag spikes on the graph or not. Do you get any spikes? Just run the DLC in the background and try to use PC normally. Try to stress it, run some programs with video/sound. A game would be perfect to see if you can get it to spike.

Well, had an interesting development in the last few minutes. Computer froze while running DPC, where the freeze occured is pretty obvious in the picture below. But, I also checked event viewer, and the picture below cannot be a coincidence, can it? It froze around the time of the events pictured.

Adobe flash? Well uninstall it and see, but I can't see that affect the latency. Your graphs are clear evidence something is very wrong.
At this point I would personally reinstall sound, video, LAN, WiFI, and chipset drivers.

Are you checking the performance log for concurrent events? Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7
Is there a way to completely uninstall these drivers deleting every trace of them and attached files of theirs? Or just go to the device manager and uninstall that way?

Uninstalled sound, video, chipset and WiFi drivers, still no luck. I appreciate everything you guys have helped me with, unfortunately it looks like I'll end up taking a trip to the shop this week, I've reached my breaking point with this thing.

ok well, I wouldn't possibly know what else it could be. It's too bad the DPC program can't say WHAT's causing it. By the way do you have any external usb devices plugged in or PCMCIA cards? I'd suggest disconnecting, unplugging.

no usb devices, and I don't know what a PCMCIA card is, so unless it came with the computer, no, nothing like that. It's frustrating, my guess is they'll be able to get in, fix it within a half hour an charge me a hundred bucks for it. But, what can you do I guess.

Before I'd pay someone I'd work through all these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 to know I've been as thorough as possible - including the hardware tests. Sorry if I missed a post or two.
