cpu peaks 5384

I have a nasty problem in 5381 and 5384.4. My CPU peaks every other second, resulting in a temporary systom halt (cursor stops, sound interrupts, hard drive pauses...). It is NOT a Indexing or Explorer problem! This happenned to me in previous builds only when installed to SATA drive. In 5381 and 5384, it doesn't matter if I install it on IDE or SATA, the problem is persistent
My config:
Athlon 64 3000+ Socket 754 Mobo Gigabyte K8VT800 1,5 GB RAM DDR IDE and SATA drives (non-RAID) GeForce 6600 AGP Onboard Realtek AC97
Any ideas? TIA

Have you checked Task Manager, under the Processes (tab) to see if there are any specific applications that unusually eating up resources? -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Jiøí Fiala" wrote in message

Yeh, was just going to say. What's your system spec?

Maybe a driver-related issue? I had the same problem after installing the latest nVidia Forceware drivers.
