System Process

[Guest]

Hello

I am currently running Windows 2000 with SP4. I have a Dell C400 Laptop.
When I unsuspend my laptop the process usage goings to 100%.
The process "system" is using 100% of the CPU.
I can not end the process or change its prioty.
Any ideas on what may be causing this?

I have not made any major changes to the Software on my system.

'System' process high CPU is typically caused by a driver running in the
system context. You can
use Perfmon, Pviewer and Pstat to zoom down the driver. See following
article for details:

I have also seen this caused by software written into disk sectors
which were bad. If you don't find anything using the above suggestion,
then running Scandisk in "throrough" mode should detect if the cause
is some problem on the disk.

Dan, no Scandisk in W2K,
but they might Run... cmd /k chkdsk /r/f (which is equivalently similar)[what an
oximoron runon 8 ]
