Hi,
I am using Win XP Prof and NIS 2009 (from T-Online). Recently I have been getting up to 99% CPU usage on ccsvchst.exe/SYSTEM and this seems to run for about 2-3 hours then dies out on it's own (one cannot kill the task) - so the task does not loop and is performing something. . If I re-boot during the run, , the ccsvshst starts up again and re-blocks the system. During the run, it is also performing a LOT of Input operations and writes about 2000 operations. No other tasks were started.
This effect now occurs quite often, and I do not know why the task starts, what it is doing, and cannot find any log . XP doesn't appear to offer any help in creating a dump file. Also one of my friends has the same problem (not with T-Online)....And this CPU hogging is really getting on my nerves.
Anyone offer any help -- apart from offering tranquilisers ;.)
