Hello!

 

I have motherboard ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0.

Operating system - Windows 7 x64.

When I turn on parameter HPET in BIOS, the time in Windows begins to lag behind real.
In 1 minute there is a lag for 20 seconds.

And begins a glitches when playing some games.


Is It malfunction of the motherboard?

Easy solution for this one... Turn if back off bud. My understanding is newer motherboards with Windows 7 and higher SHOULD NOT be using HPET. Anyone with a better understanding of this please chime in.

where did you read that?  I would say its complete opposite, older OSes do not support it while new current ones do.. Windows 7 has support for it, but you have to tell it to use it from my understanding.  XP before sp3 did not support it,

It seems articles on it after about 2014/15 are saying to turn it off. Maybe a Windows 10 thing?

This was the Neowin discussion back in 2012 which is saying what you said that HPET needs to set to be the only timer...

 

 

My question to the OP is if you are doing a lot gaming why are you even using Windows 7?

I haven't absolutely understood question.
Why I use Windows 7 and I do not use new OSes?
Because I have more got used to Windows 7

Well you seem to be concerned about performance and Windows 10 is faster. Windows 7 is a dead end with no DirectX 12 support for gaming. I am sure you can get "used" to Windows 10. LOL

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I think I understood the article fine. Online password managers open users up to more possibilities of getting hacked, and due to KeePass being offline and local it reduces the idea of getting hacked. If someone chooses to put their database online they're kinda missing the point. With regards to the idea of the on-prem idea, I would have two issues. I'm not sure about the first issue, but I wouldn't be surprised about them offering a cloud storage for the passwords that most wouldn't bother to switch off, regardless of if they went for on-prem or not. The second issue is that the on-prem solution for Bitwarden costs money, whereas KeePass is free and open-source (as far as I am aware). The article points out how to sync the database between devices, and I recognise that deficiency in security. But it isn't a necessity. So both services can offer a same idea, but one is free and the other isn't...choices, choices.... But to each their own.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      I am not surprised because life is the product of a lot of biochemical and physical processes that releases various energies as a by-product. The only thing new here is the detection of these photon emissions. The researches noted this "glow" is not a metaphysical one. They don't even immediately end when one is dead. Things like fires, light bulbs, and on a bigger scale stars release a lot more "light" and they are hardly alive.
