Ok, system specs:
Intel P4 Prescott 3.2 Running at stock speeds.
MSI 875P Neo FISR PCB v2
4x Corsair XMS PC4000 DDR 500 in dual chan mode at stock speeds.
ASUS v9520 (GeForce FX5200TD) Graphics Card.
Yamaha CRW F1 (Secondary Master)
Pioneer 107D DVDRW (Secondaru Slave)
+ Various hard drives, 2 IDE on the primary cahnnel and 1 USB 2 external.
Windows XP Pro SP1 with all updates installed
For some reason the cpu is permenantly loaded between 25% and 35%.
System slows to a crawl at random intervals and for random amounts of time.
Taskmanager shows system idle process at 99% and no other process is above 0% cpu usage. The only process to get above 0% is winlogon.exe which sometimes peaks at 30%- this peak doesnt coincide with the system slowing to a crawl.
Taskmanager only shows 30 processes and 267MB of memory being used, even when the slowdowns occur.
I presume it's software based so i posted the details here, anyone else have a similar problem? Anyone know a fix?
Thanks
