Win2003 Svr Sp2 "System Process" 100% Cpu during large Msdn Downloads

[charlestek]

When I am doing large downloads (Visual Studio 2008 beta for example) from
Msdn, the "System" process (NOT System Idle process) consumes near 100% cpu
and prevents me from doing anything else on the machine.

I tried snooping the System process tree with Wininternals latest Process
Explorer, but none of the subtree items that are children of "System" show
any high cpu usage.

HELP!!

Hi Charlestek,

The System process, in my experience, is hardware and driver related. Have
you installed any new drivers or hardware when this issue started occuring?
You should try running a hardware scan, some manufacturers offer scan
utilites, as well as updating your drivers (or rolling back to previous
known good ones). Also check your event log for related error codes which
will give us more info.
