To do this, you will probably have to log into Safe Mode. When I tested it at normal desktop, it gave me an Access Denied error. I'm not certain this will solve your problem, but it did seem to slow down harddrive activity some, but it slowed down CPU activity more. I think that with this disabled it is the first time that I have ever seen CPU activity occassionally at 0%. It might also make it easier to see what is left running, because mousing over Process Explorer, I see processes that had been hidden previously.
I don't know how good of an idea it is to keep Windows Event Log disabled, because it is a very good diagnostic tool. However, I'm guessing that Windows will continued to produce minidump as necessary, and if so, I guess one could get by without it.
