    System Interrupts Spiking CPU


    i have a process called System Interrupts in performance monitor that us spiking the CPU from 0-10% usage. what is this process and how can i fix this?

    this is a brandy new install of windows and all drivers and everything are installed and up to date. in DPC latency checker, i dont have any red spikes. the only thing that causes uneven us is my wifi card, but again, its not spiking red and is staying in the green.

    any ideas?

    System Interrupts is related to hardware. However are you sure you are actually having a problem?

    well i mean is spiking from 0-15% cpu usage. actual cpu usage is anywhere from 0-4%. in DPC latency checker, its not showing anything abnormal. i disabled my wifi, ethernet, and disconnected things that were plugged in and its still spiking.

    It could be a bad driver for your mouse or keyboard - since you already disconnected all the other devices.

    See whether unplugging and replugging them does anything.

    ok, running DPC latency checker again, i do have a spike into the red accisionally. i ruled out it being wifi, ethernet, and USB 3, keyboard, mouse, realtek audio, gpu audio, gpu driver. what else could it be? ive disabled everything that i could disable in device manager and still having it spike.... what now?

    Does the DPC latency checker not give you a clue - message underneath the bars.

    read my previous post


    "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."


    it seems to have been reduced somehow....its running at .10% usage instead of the .50 average.

    EDIT: nvm it just jumped up to .71%


    wait a minute.... i get an error in event viewer saying that a driver never started "cdrom" and that is because i dont have one pluged in at the moment. maybe is because of that? heres the error in event viewer:
