Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, the problem did indeed lay with my USB Wireless Adapter, an uninstall and download of new drivers provided the cure.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a problem with the SYSTEM process using a heavy amount of CPU resource. My PC runs at 100% usage constantly and oddly it does not slow down in use.<br />
<br />
I have used procexp to get more details and it tells me that the thread responsible is TID 108 NDIS.sys+0x6b85. The stack thread is as follows<br />
ntkrnlpa.exe!KiUnexpectedI<wbr />nterrupt+0<wbr />xf0<br />
NDIS.sys!NdisFreeToBlockPo<wbr />ol+0x1617<br />
ntkrnlpa.exe!PsRemoveCreat<wbr />eThreadNot<wbr />ifyRoutine<wbr />+0x21e<br />
ntkrnlpa.exe!KiDispatchInt<wbr />errupt+0x5<wbr />a2<br />
<br />
Could anyone tell me what these do and why they would be using so much of my CPU?<br />
<br />
If I kill the process using procexp CPU usage drops to normal and I do not notice anything not working.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

System process high CPU usage

System Utilities are a type of system software used to support the computer infrastructure, distinguishing it from application software which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Commonly used utilities include password managers, disk managers, system monitors, data synchronization tools, security and antivirus software and editors.

System Utilities

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
