I just finished an upgrade to an Ausu P4B533, adding a new processor (2.66) Intel. This machine was working fine until I went to the MS upgrades and down loaded the hot fixes that were need. I believe it was SP2, and couple others , I don't remember. A day later the PC slowed to a crawl, and in task mgr. I have 100% cpu use by system, not system idle, but system.
I haven't done any removals just scanned for worms.........any ideas?
 
SP2 is currently in beta and is not available to the general public, it was
probably SP1a that you've downloaded.

Suggest checking your startup list, and disabling any processes that you
don't need.

Download Adaware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ and use it to remove parasites.

Look at processes in Task Manager. It is normal to have a number of Svchost.exe process entries appearing in Task Manager. For the process generating the high usage how is the User described? Next whilst Task Manager is showing high usage change from the Process Tab to the Application Tab. Then select each running Application in turn, right click and select "Go to Process" and see if you can identify the application causing the high usage.

Next select Start, Administrative Tools, Services. Compare the list of services with those shown as Started and for each in turn stop the service and observe the effect. If the CPU usage in Task Manager continues or something stops working restart the service. When you have found the likely cause i.e. the CPU usage stops then post details of what you have found.

Hope this helps.
