Any direction would of course be greatly appreciated. Machine started
randomly slowing and locking up. Task manager shows 100% cpu usage.
About half the time I can shut down the last opened program and it
drops to normal. i.e. open outlook express and it does not appear to
open yet the program- msimn shows in the process list. Happens with
various programs. Half the time I need to do a hard restart.

Event viewer shows the following:
All headed: nview_info

Te only other error msg: Source SecurityCenter

The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish event
queries with WMI to monitor third party AntiVirus and Firewall.
I shudder to think about another wipe and fresh install.
 
As far as a know, nveiw_info is a reference to a feature of the nVidia
graphics card. If you have such a card, you may need to reinstall the
drivers for the card or to check the card manufacturer's website for the
latest drivers. You might also check their site for a reference to this
issue.
 
Thank You for the reply.
Unfortunately after installing the latest nvidia driver package the
problem remains.
 
Then you need to check their website for references to this issue and if you
find none, you need to contact nVidia.
