Hello All!
I don't know where to correctly post my question. I hope I am in the right place.
I have been experiencing significant Windows clock lag. For 1 minute to pass in Windows ~2-3 minutes pass in real time. I just upgraded my CPU to an AMD A8-7600 and BIOS to 2.4 from 2.1 (ASRock A88XFM2 Extreme 4+) because the previous CPU's (AMD A8-6500) GPU unit died on me (STOP 116 error). Checked to see if I have a weak battery - would be strange, since I just bought the motherboard in February. The BIOS clock seems to be running fine. Compared it with realtime and no delays (not even a second) during a 15 minute test.
I have been searching around the net for solutions and found WinTimerTester 1.1.
Ran it and found that my ratio is way off: 1.5-3
Depending on "bcdedit /set useplatformclock true" and HPET enabled/disabled in BIOS.
Also tested the system with DPC Latency Checker and LatencyMon. Both stared out perfectly, but soon started to produce significant errors.
While searching for a solution I realized that my VLC is significantly stuttering, which could also be due to this latency issue. Interestingly MPC-HC does not reproduce this stuttering.
I know that I can force the Windows clock to sync every few minutes - this is what I have enabled now - but this is only an interim solution as video playback is still greatly affected.
Can somebody help me deciper LatencyMon? I will post the results below.
Thanks for the help!
