Hi guys, I have posted this in the XP Forum here thread779-1167900 but wanted to check that I am not missing anything, the advice I have received seems to have worked but has anyone heard of this in a specific instance?
Original Thread Text
Don't know whether this should be happening but when I check in the windows task manager processes I constantly see this
Image Name of System
User name of SYSTEM
using up-to 99% of my CPU (even the system idle is not getting a look in)
This is causing major lock ups and hangs on all other programs as they cannot get enough CPU time, I will not claim to be an expert in this field but this seems rather strange to me.
I did try to end the "System" but my PC went into shut down mode with a Sasser type warning screen.
If I am posting in the wrong place please let me know but any and all help appreciated and desperately needed.
