freddy 0 Posted March 6, 2003 Can you open Task Manager when this happens...or have it open ready...to see what process is using CPU time during this 30 seconds? As it's a regular occurance that happens for 30 seconds or so you should be able to narrow it down if there is some background process causing excessive CPU usage. Quote: Are you running System Restore there &/or indexing service actively? Alec, what exactly does the indexing service do? I think I've turned it off anyway. Am I right in thinking it just speeds up searching the harddisk, by caching locations of files etc. or something like that? Share this post Link to post
