I am trying to figure out why my system is doing this and have been
unsuccessful so far, so I thought I would try here.

I am running a Dell XPS 400 box; P4 3.0 Ghz with 3 MB Ram. OS was upgraded
to Vista Home Premium and also upgraded Video Card to ATI Radeon X1950 Pro
256 MB. The system should handle anything I throw at it, but since the
upgrade it "pegs" at 100% at random times. I have looked at the logs and
cannot tell what is causing this to happen. It releases after about 1 minute
usually, but it is becoming very tiresome as you can never tell when it is
going to happen (in fact it happened while I was typing this).

I have turned off UAC and set the system setting off of Aero and
transparency inc case it was that, but it is still happening.

Does ANYONE have any clues?
