I'm running windows XP on a Dell Dimension XPS B800. When I look at the system usage it shows that the CPU is being used at 100% for 4-5 seconds and then it drops down to 1 or 2% through two or three steps and then builds back up to 100% usage. The process using all the CPU is the SYSTEM process running 46 threads. if I terminate the system process the number of threads drops to 45 and the CPU useage drops to 1 or 2% and remains there - any ideas why the CPU is being used so much, why the large number of threads and how to stop the high useage
regards
Max
