Hello, everyone. I hope you are all well. This is my first post in this forum, and for a need. I need your suggestions. I hope I'll get better suggestions from you. That is, I'd like to learn more about "HPET" and why it is necessary to disable it in order to play games. Guys, I have no idea what's going on here. Please assist.

Interesting, I had no idea about what it was (a timer), and I have not noticed the problems associated with it (stutter on modern fast PC:s), my rig is too old I guess.
However there are some more hardware oriented websites describing it in detail:

So, there you have it, guys. I got some suggestions for this after a lot of searching on Google. Increase the PC's performance after enabling HPET. Source is here.
