USB instability under load – ACPI / DPC latency issue

Hello.
I am experiencing a reproducible issue with USB devices on my laptop.

Model: MSI Vector 17 HX AI
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
GPU: RTX 5090 Laptop
OS: Windows 11 (latest updates)
BIOS: E17S3IMS.110

Issue denoscription:
When the system is under load (games / GPU load), USB devices start to malfunction.
A USB audio interface (MOTU M2) produces audio crackling and then disconnects completely.
An external USB hub connected to the laptop disconnects as well.
Keyboard and mouse usually remain working.

The issue is reproducible and occurs only under load.

Diagnostics:
LatencyMon shows high DPC / interrupt latency spikes under load:

ACPI.sys
dxgkrnl.sys / nvlddmkm.sys Peaks exceed 4–5 ms, which is critical for USB isochronous audio devices.

GPU drivers were clean-installed (Studio Driver), power management settings adjusted, USB power saving disabled — the issue persists.

Important note:
This does not appear to be a problem with the audio interface itself.
The same behavior occurs with a USB hub, which indicates a system-level USB / ACPI / EC issue.


Please advise if this is a known issue related to BIOS / EC firmware or power management on this model.
Are there any BIOS / EC updates planned that address USB stability and DPC latency under load?

Thank you.

PC crashing consistently

I have a MSI Bravo C7V. This past year it started crashing pretty regularly. Just completely shutting off or just getting a bsod. I've tried a few things to fix it and nothing has worked yet.\\

I'll add some screenshots below of event viewer and my specs.


I would really appreciate any help I can get. This laptop is not very old either, only about 3 years. When its not crashing it runs great.


The error code I get for the bsod is- "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION"

Audio Enhancement with 16bit, 24 bit 48000hz can cause audio distortion/crackling noise and lag with Nahimic

Laptop dying

Hey! I have a MSI thin15 (im being beyond unreasonable with a tower rn so we just picked a cheap option that would run my games) and it has started dying on me even when plugged in. I keep it on a cooling mat that keeps the temps down pretty decent and it does stay plugged in basically 24/7 (what i was told would be my best bet to keep a battery while using it).

My boyfriend is pretty tech savey and has built his own tower and solves his own issues. We are just dumbfounded on why it keeps dying (it'll be fully charged and working not even 5mins before).

its not Nahimic, it was 360 Norton Antivirus that causing weird audio distort

ive been getting this audio distort crackling since last year, but its getting worse yesterday after my first attempt to stream using OBS. I was mad at OBS bcoz i thought it was OBS fault that making the crackling and stutter audio when watching youtube. After doing a lot of reserach through reddit, google and even AI of course,

MSI told me that 360 Norton is the culprit. If you dont use it, better uninstall it because it cause this audio distort issue, i tested the same game audio and some extreme bass youtube videos. It is now fixed. Thank you MSI for the help.

i see a lot of discussion saying that remove nahimic was the solution but nahimic is the only free audio enhancement that was built in for MSI laptop. So i refuse to do it.

My audio has some weird noise

So this happened 2 nights ago where I opened Minecraft but had Google Chrome and was watching a YouTube video but on Minecraft I was playing a server and my audio has like some small noise thing which I don't understand how to fix it, my realtek audio drivers are all fixed but the noise only happens a bit then stops then it makes the same noise again, I'm not sure why my laptop makes the weird noise but every time it makes that noise when I'm watching something, the video stops for a second then plays again, what is the issue with this?

MSI laptop suddenly not powering on after being plugged in for 2 days

Hi everyone,
I’m having a serious issue with my MSI laptop and I’m stuck.
I left the laptop plugged into the charger for about 2 days without turning it on. When I tried to power it on after that, it completely stopped working.
What I’ve tried so far:
Drained the battery (power reset)
Removed and cleaned both RAM sticks and tried them one by one
Tried powering on with and without the battery
Tried different chargers (USB-C as well)
Current symptoms:
No charging LED at all
Keyboard does not light up or blink
No fan, no screen, completely dead
Before this, the laptop was working normally.
Could this be a dead motherboard, charging IC, or power circuit issue?
Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

CapsLock pop up started appearing today and can't disable it

Hello,


When I woke up this morning, everytime I press the caps lock a pop appears alerting that 'm writing in Capital letters or not and it is very annoying.


I've checked all the configuration possible, MSI center, settings tab, ease of access, checked for internal services, hot keys, OSD or lack off, and nothing has worked.


Have you experienced the same?


MSI Laptop with steelseries mouse. I've had this laptop for 1 year and a half and this issue started today and I didn't even update anything!

MSI Vector 17 HX A13V – battery connector very tight & PTM7950 repaste questions

Hello everyone,



I'm planning to clean and replace the thermal paste on my MSI Vector 17 HX A13V, but I'm running into a few issues.



First, the battery connector is extremely tight. I tried to unplug it, but I’m afraid of breaking the white plastic connector on the motherboard. Do you have any tips for safely removing it?



Second, I plan to use Honeywell PTM7950 instead of standard thermal paste. However, to apply it, I need to remove the cooling assembly.



How many screws does the fan/heatsink assembly usually have? From what I understand, they are numbered.



Finally, if you have any tips or precautions, I’d really appreciate it.



For reference, I’ve already opened the laptop and cleaned the dust.



Thanks!

MSI Center crashes after clicking into the General Settings page

When I click to general settings, things will load but I am not able to click anything, then it will crash. When I try to start MSI Center again, it will automatically goes to the general setting page and crashes again.

I updated my BIOS, uninstalled MSI Center using cleancenter master and reinstalled it. But it still happens.

Another thing is that I cant login to my account on MSI Center after reinstalling the app. I can login through website but it shows 'login account and password error' when I am login through the app.

Creator Z16P B12UHST Wifi upgrade question

Have any Z16P owners upgraded/swapped their wifi cards?

I don't know a ton about interface types but what I've found so far is that the card it comes with uses CNVio2. The new Intel cards use CNVio3 or PCIe. I know that Intel's 12th gen processor (Alder Lake) isn't compatible with CNVio3 so that leaves PCIe.

The problem is that I can't find any information specific to the Z16P as to whether or not it works with PCIe as well as CNVio2. I've seen some people with different MSI laptop models say it works while others say it didn't.

I've submitted a support ticket asking for their input but would appreciate any real world feedback from anyone that owns (or has owned) this specific model.

Key issue with my MSI Crosshair 16

 I have an MSI Crosshair 16 laptop. Several of the keys are starting to have issues, where when pressed the button will either not register the key press or will register the key press 2-3 times.  This is happening with these keys: 8, 9, 0, Backspace, Ins.

I tested with an external keyboard and ran full virus scans, no problems, so this is a hardware issue for sure.  My question is what to do about it at this point?

My questions:

1.     Because they keys are all close, it is possible that it something could have been spilled on the keys causing the issue. I would have to remove the keys, which I have no idea how to do.  Could being dirty cause this issue?

2.     Does this seem like the pad underneath the keys have gone bad?  I don’t use these keys more than others, so it is unlikely that it is wear.

3.     Is replacing the entire keyboard something to consider or replacing individual keys?

Any advice would be very helpful, thank you!
