All of a sudden my CPU usage is going through the roof. 60-90% and upto 100% while system idle process is any where from 88-99%. Processes arranged by usage places System Idle on top, which is appropriate, but I still get the #'s indicated above. There are brief periods where it just about balances out, but the spike happens again and can last for an undeterminable amount of time. I've tried Norton System Works (and its related utilities) Adaware SE, Norton Anit-Virus, & Trojan Hunter 4. I found some issues with Norton WinDoc and Trojan Hunter. I was able to resolve them, but the problem mentioned above was not resolved. Essentially, according to the TaskManager, my CPU is running over 100% (idle process + unidentifiable process [as all others are 0-10 usually]) I've also looked into the power supply. Any ideas?
