Win2003 Svr Sp2 "System Process" 100% Cpu during large Msdn Downloads

[Guest charlestek]

When I am doing large downloads (Visual Studio 2008 beta for example) from

Msdn, the "System" process (NOT System Idle process) consumes near 100% cpu

and prevents me from doing anything else on the machine.

 

I tried snooping the System process tree with Wininternals latest Process

Explorer, but none of the subtree items that are children of "System" show

any high cpu usage.

 

HELP!!

Hi Charlestek,

 

The System process, in my experience, is hardware and driver related. Have

you installed any new drivers or hardware when this issue started occuring?

You should try running a hardware scan, some manufacturers offer scan

utilites, as well as updating your drivers (or rolling back to previous

known good ones). Also check your event log for related error codes which

will give us more info.
