This is the best and the best solution for the problem .Some say ibmmessages.exe and some say indexing services .I am not saying that they are wrong .But this approach will let you find the root cause of the problem rather that guess work. Just find out which process is faulting most currently and if its not critical start killing it.Repeat the same for others .In my case it was a process called TSVNCache.exe and another one procexp.exe .The probs caused by the first were a major concern .Thanks for this help and i would give this approach a 10 of 10 . A very decent approch to solve the problem . Bingo
