re: High CPU by system process freezes system Friday, August 1, 2008 at 1:11 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rincewind (9 messages posted) Have scanned with Spybot and XoftspySE. Some traces reported (including Smitfraud-C a bmp and 3 urls; and a program AU~.exe) but nothing major and no impact on the CPU usage Started scan with superanitspyware and had to abort the scan to set up for the boot log. I noticed this left superantispyware using significant CPU and the "system" also using significant CPU. Presumably some sort of interaction? So I reboot the PC, set the bootlog option and off we go. On initial load, Teatimer (from spybot now taking all CPU so I killed that process - think I read somewhere it is prone to do that for a minute or two). Full Superantispyware scan in operation now. Noticeable that the "freezing" 95%+ peaks in system activity are not currently present with the same regular pattern. (It shouldn't have been teatimer because I only installed spybot after the problem started. SuperAntiSpyware finished with nothing serious to report (8 tracking cookies) Dunno if its relevant but . . . . . The pattern of three spikes in system usage was not present. I used IE7 to view the log files mentioned above The pattern of 3 spikes is back again. it wasn't quite as 'cause and effect' as that sounds because there was other stuff going on. I will remove ie7 reinstall and see if that helps Thanks for your interest Boot log follows (anything significant in the drivers that did not load?)
