Once in a while, the process explorer.exe in the task
manager seems to either get stuck in a loop or crash,
causing it to eat up every bit of CPU time it can
possibly gets it's grubby little hands on. I can
forcibly end the process but then the start bar dies and
I have to reboot the computer to get it back.
It seems to happend rather randomly and I can't seem to
link it to any one program. All that I really know is
that it never happends when I'm running a game.
I've seen this occure and a couple of different
computers, but never with the frequency that it happends
on mine.
Thanks in advance for the help

Ps: only happends in Windows XP
 
Nathan;
Ctrl + Alt + Del/click the Processes tab. Maybe you can "link it to any one
program."
