Whenever my winxp home rig starts freezing up, I usually do a ctl-alt-delete and go to the processes tab. Over 90% of the time, something called System Idle Process is taking 80-95 CPU. What is that, why is it doing it, and how can I fix it?
I googled the problem. Others seemed to have the same problem as me, but other people answered that it wasn't a problem at all. They said that the System Idle Process in NT based windows is the lowest level priority program and should never mess up your comp. Yet for me, and a couple others, it does.
