Hi all. I've had this problem ever since I bought this notebook a few months ago. Dell won't help me as they say it's a software problem. <a href="http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=85314">See my other thread.</a>

Something is slowing my computer to a crawl every 30 seconds or so, sometimes more frequently and sometimes less. I can never seem to catch it with Win XP's task manager, by the time I get to check it the CPU usage is back to normal. I'm looking for a program that I can use to track individual processes, or something like that. The CPU usage history graph is good as it shows me the CPU spike, but doesn't show me what's causing it, and I can never get to the processes tab quickly enough.

Does anyone know of a program that will do this, or any way I can pinpoint the process that's causing this? Cheers.
