Server 2003 - System process hogging CPU

[Guest ctech]

We are using Windows Server 2003 and in the past couple of days the System

process has been taking about 50% of the CPU. I am using a program called

"Process Explorer" but can't nail down what is actually causing this. Prior

the System process was only using about 5% of the CPU.

 

There have been no addionational software or hardware changes recently.

This is causing some network file sharing to be sluggish.

 

Any help in pointing me in the right direction to try find the issue that is

causing this would be appreciated.
