Compaq 800mhz box, solid performer with Win 98SE. Finally put XP Pro on and
it typically runs for a while, then will go into a cycle of freezing
everything, hanging for 20-50 or so seconds then coming right back alive.
Rebooting sometimes helps, sometimes not. Reloaded XP twice. Cleaned filter
and checked fan so heat doesn't seem to be an issue. When I look at the Task
Monitor, it too locks up, going from a 20% CPU load to fully locked up, and
locked up so fast the Task Monitor can't even update itself to 100% CPU
cycle, then it drops back to 10-20%. Can't tell which application sends it
into outer space but this is driving me NUTS!
Are there any shareware tools for monitoring what is running and hogging the
cpu that might catch what Task Mgr can't ? HELP_HELP_HELP!
