Run Process Explorer and post a snip of the 2 processes I marked.

right now its not active because i had just restarted my computer to play a game... once it goes active again ill make sure to post another snip right away

OK, right now it looks good. I was especially looking for the deferred procedure calls (DPC). If that number is above 2% or so, it often points to a driver problem. Did you ever check in Device Manager whether there are any yellow triangles?

ITEMS THAT WILL BE RESET TO DEFAULT OR AFFECTED:

Sounds
Services
Visual Effects Settings
Device Drivers - Be sure to have these handy to reinstall. They do not always remain after the repair (upgrade) install.
You may lose the ability to sign on to MSN Messenger, to solve this problem have a look at this thread Unable to sign in to WLM.
You may lose your custom themes due to not having permisions set on the old themes. Go to the hidden themes folder at C:/Users/(User-Name)/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Themes, then Take Ownership of the themes folder and you will now have all your themes back.
It has been reported that you may also lose your Media Center gadget after doing the repair install.
Windows Updates will need to be checked and reinstalled again.

I'm still not clear on what the problem actually is

I'd try Process Lasso, Y-Kill, amongst other things.

Here's Y-Kill attached, development on it was stopped years ago (always freeware anyhow), and kind of hard to track down:

Others like WinPatrol, FileAssassin and HiJackThis could help also.

System Interrupts is created by hardware. You are not going to see a process in task manager. To find out what might be the cause you are going have to inspect the stack or threads of System Interrupts to see what it is calling.
