Kernel power issue 41 and Driver IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL
Thanks in advance to those that take the time to read this and help out!
So im having a series of issues and im putting them all here because im not sure if there related to each other or not but it seems something is messing up and a cascade of things are happening.
First: Every once in a while i get a BSOD, it happens randomly but today it happened after i was having an intense gaming session. in the midst of battle i was pulled out against my will with a BSOD getting the Driver IRQL NOR LESS OR EQUAL Stop: 0x000000D1 i would like to post what else it said but i have no file on the mini dump. so i downloaded "whocrashed" and bluescreenviewer to hopefully catch it next time it happens and i will post.
Looking for potential culprits i find this Kernel power issue 41 in my event viewer, and obviously i do not know what could be, ive done some research before starting this thread but havent found a reasonable way to fix it.
Finally, one of my biggest issues is Sound, i do alot of music production and i keep getting crackling noises here and there during playback, which i didnt get before and is extremely anoying, messing with buffering and bit settings hasnt been successful, using LATENCY MON i get this:
CONCLUSION________________
Your system seems to have difficulty handling real-time audio and other tasks. You may experience drop outs, clicks or pops due to buffer underruns. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:00:42 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

Reported CPU speed: 4334.0 MHz
Measured CPU speed: 1481.0 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): 1808.166610
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 6.448431
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 360.026903
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 2.206864

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): 374.149285
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: USBPORT.SYS - USB 1.1 & 2.0 Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation
Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0.157511
Driver with highest ISR total time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation
Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0.263511
ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 109873
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 500-999 µs): 2
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): 925.592293
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 344.60 , NVIDIA Corporation
Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 1.531820
Driver with highest DPC total execution time: USBPORT.SYS - USB 1.1 & 2.0 Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation
Total time spent in DPCs (%) 1.813004
DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 583848
DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 500-999 µs): 362
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.
Process with highest pagefault count: svchost.exe
Total number of hard pagefaults 1
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 1
Highest hard pagefault resolution time (µs): 10.730734
Total time spent in hard pagefaults (%): 0.000003
Number of processes hit: 1
