hello did you already try to check the file system using command prompt. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

Have you checked in the task manager, then go to processes then check the box which says 'show processes from all users.

That should show you the processess that is hogging the cpu you can either remove it or stop it from running.

see thats the thing it only shows up on the resource monitor and when i try to end the process it doesnt let me the option is not available... the only option i can choose is to search online and i did with no results

i ran the scan and it said some corrupt files were found and they would be repaired. i rebotted and the problem was still there... now i cant even sign in to my msn account...

Look in task manager and tell us what process is running and at what CPU usage.

 

[jimm3ron]

nothing is runnin i close every single program i dont need all cores are 0-1% ussage while core 0 (my 1st core) is from 20-50% ussage because of tht system interrupt...

 

[Dave76]

How long has this been going on?

Did it start when you first got the computer?
Or sometime after, was it after software installation?
Hardware upgrade?

Pls post any changes in software, hardware or settings.

With some more information we might be able to come up with a possible suggestion.

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

 

[jimm3ron]

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?

 

[jimm3ron]

nope everything is workin good... now tht i think of it everytime id exit spyboot search n destroy after a while id get system interrupts and now tht i uninstalled it im not gettin nothin... although i cant remember id spyboot was still runnin at some other time when id get system interrupts... idk well see

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.
