You need to find the specific process that's taking all
the CPU resources and slowing down your PC.
(there are lot of sub-processes tied to the 'System' and 'Explorer' process)
To do this try Process Explorer:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx
Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
In the taskbar select View and check 'Show Process Tree' and 'Show Lower
Pane' options.
(This will provide some of the detailed info you need)
Next click on the CPU column to sort processes by %CPU usage.
Then click on and expand the 'System' or 'Explorer' process to expand
and identify the specific sub-process that's using most or all the
resources.
Next click on the sub-process or process listed under the
System or Explorer Process that's using most or all the CPU %.
Once the process or sub-process is highlighted, right click and
from the options listed select: Search Online. This should display
what out there on the web about that process.
Note: some entries like Explorer, System process (as explained above) and
svchost entries may need to be expanded to show the detail (sub processes),
in this case click on the + located to the left of the entry.
