Sorry for the late response - I'm in the UK, and it was well past bedtime Surprised that you cannot identify an activity/service that accounts for the CPU usage -
The Delta values indicate OS action - usually associated with pagefile management or use - that can slow the system without showing as CPU usage - because it's actually waiting for disk response and if there are 2 activities incrementing pagefaults - then that indicates a problem with insufficient memory to run both those activities concurrently Probably ruled out problems due to incompatible memory and comms controller problems I presume that AVG has not been updated as it has no network connection - that and the SP1 level means the system is at risk - could be it's been got at and something is trying desperately to phone home (while hiding itself from the monitors etc) So - what is actually informing you that CPU usage is at 100% ?? And what activities are started - if not actually reported as using CPU?
