    I have just started having this problem for the last 5 days or so.
    My CPU is constantly running at somewhere between 90 and 100%
    Process Explorer is telling me that it hardware interrupts is to blame for this.
    It is making all applications ridiculously slow can anybody help please?

    Cheers

    Next to 90% of the processes it said suspended except explorer, Firefox, iTunes & all the service hosts.

    It appears that when i woke up this morning my CPU was back down to the 4% its usually happy with.

    If you have any idea of what caused this i would still like to know.
    Just in case it happens again

    Cheers

    Well, whatever it was, make sure you run thorough virus scans with multiple programs, could've been a virus, no idea why it would've stopped capping your CPU tho...

    nah, its not a virus.
    done plenty of scans and did hijack this and nothing that doesn't belong.
