Since purchasing my PC last November it has had a problem right from day one but I only now have had time to deal with it. Whenever and however I play audio (VLC, Media Player, YouTube vids via Firefox), there is an unpredictable fault that occurs multiple times a day and at times during every 10 m

@recall9812​ Reinstalling is not usually needed. I used to be a network and hardware help desk manager.  "reinstall" was rarely needed or used.

Monitor needs HDMI cable to be connected to my Dell lap top. However , there was no HDMI cable delivered with the monitor. I attempted to connect with the supplied cables without success.

@recall9812​ Replacing the motherboard is a good move by Dell. I too don't think that is the problem but will eliminate the hardware. In regards to Latency Mon, only have what runs at startup when you run Latency Mon. Have to get it cleaned up at t

@recall9812​ First thing is to identify the CPU model in your PC. If its an "F" version such as i7 14700F there is NO integrated graphics so you can't disable NVIDIA. Device manager MAY list what video(s) are available too, and you can disable NVID
