Hi,
Toshiba Tecra M5 twin 2.3Ghz CPU, 1Gb Ram XP Pro SP3 Spybot 1.6

Occasionally one of the CPUs will go to 100% usually with explorer. If I kill the 100% task, another task will go to 100%. If I try to shut down the machine, each task in turn will go to 100% and have to be killed.

I recall reading something about teatimer and the last time this happened, I killed teatimer (which was not at 100%) and the problem went away. I am waiting for another occurrence to see if it is a common pattern.

In the interim, is anything known about this problem
