38071	2002-03-06 05:25:00	I upgrade from Win 2000 to XP pro. But every now and then (maybe once a day) the system would slow down to nothing for no reason. Found in Task Manager that the 'System' task is using between 88-95% of the CPU. Everything else would work but really slowly. So did a build up from the ground thinking it was the upgrade. No luck still does it. Tried doing the Mircosoft updates. Loaded them all on, still no good. The problem doesn't seem to happen if I start anything or if I have certain things running, it just seems to do it and stays locked like that till I restart it. Can anyone help?	Guest (0)

Did you do a clean install of xp or is it over 2000 again? What sort of services do you have running in the background? are you on a network? what programs are you running? are they memory resident? If your not sure, use the task manager and look for the process that is active at that time (there should be a time count on processes running) when your machine is slowing down.	Guest (0)
