Confused on DPC Latency.......

I have an M17x-R1, have the nvidia graphics cards, and have never had any dpc latency troubles, even on the A02 bios. While I didn't have DPC latency issues, I did have about a million other problems and eventually dell just sent me a replacement, while my replacement does have the issue the a03 bios & beta graphics driver seems to fix it in almost every instance except for one....when I play world of warcraft...kind of...

here is a screen of my dpc latency while running the game




What is puzzling me is that, according to that screen, I should be having audio troubles or some kind of trouble.....but I'm not. I can hear the game, talk to people, etc....everything "in-game" seems fine....but then I look at that and it worries me =/...

I'm not used to this computer working correctly, and now that it is I'm a little worried.

 

I am novice too, i just got my M17x R2 and i found some problems, anyway i call them and they will replace the parts, but, if something more just apper i will demand for a entire system replacement, if you already did all that, and you get a problem every time, ask for this, DPC latency is so hard to fix than in many countries, at least on my country, Dell doesnt sell R1 M17x, whie in USA they do, maybe cause they can deal with USA customers easily . . . .i would suggest to you ask for your new system, you paid a lot for this . . .
