| 42578 | 2002-04-08 05:35:00 | We have two machines running Win2k that every now & then comes to a grinding halt when the 'System' process decides to take over the machine utililising most of the CPU time. Task Manager normally identifies this process as PID 8 and has a memory usage of 212k. A reboot sometimes fixes the problem but not always. Could you please advise what this process is and what may be causing it to go into overload? |

Go to support.microsoft.com select in the top left corner drop down 'windows 2000' and enter some keywords in the box below. something like 'system process hogs cpu time'(without the quotes) have a look at what is found and see if anything looks familiar. if not, use some different key words and repeat.
