DPC Latency Checker shows problem but I can't find it

I was getting some clicks in my recording studio system and ran the DPC Latency checker. It shows a problem, which I can't find (if it really is a problem). However, the clicks in my recording program went away after I changed the buffer size for my USB connected recording device (a Roland Octa-Capture) and I'm not getting any other audio pops/clicks which could be a latency problem.

I've set "diagnostic startup" in the System Configuration panel, rebooted and ran the DPC latency checker program and the spikes are still there. I've disabled all the devices I could in the Device Manager and the spikes are still there. I disabled core parking on my i7 3770 in case that was causing anything and it didn't change anything. I've looked at other system tools and didn't see anything, that I could recognize, as a problem, but I'll admit I'm not sure what I'm looking at on some of those panels.

The DPC Latency Checker will not run in Safe Mode so I can't test there.

I'm stumped on this one.

Update, from info on the DPC web site this could be caused by a kernal mode driver. If this is the case, how do I go about isolating/determining what is it?

From their web site, which shows a display similar to what I'm getting:

At a period of 3 seconds a kernel-mode driver in the system is stalling the CPU for about 3.5 milliseconds. So, every 3 seconds DPC latency is exceptional large and drop-outs in real-time data streams will typically occur

Problem solved by Jim Rosebury, who builds custom recording system PC's, on the Sonar forum. The problem was "Easy Tune" that I installed from the Gigabyte installation disc when I first installed. I had removed most of the garbage that the Gigabyte disc installed but I missed the Easy Tune.

Latency is back to average 100 microsec's.

The guy builds and configures PC's for recording studios. He is up on problems such as what I had.

BTW, I am now on Win 10 and no latency problems, as reported by the Resplendence Latency Mon program (the DPC Latency Checker is invalid for Win 8/8.1/10). I'm not doing anything special in Win 10 other than using the "High Performance" power plan (what I used in other OS'). With the i7 3770 CPU I haven't had any CPU issues with my recording studio DAW (Sonar Platinum).
