After resuming after standby my system is painfully slow. CPU is hovering at

70-100%. I haven't put my system in standby for 3 months hoping it will go

away but I'm getting tired of it.

 

FYI

XP home SP2

Norton 360

Adaware personal

 

Im pretty sure my setup is stable and secure. Any ideas?

    ok i downloaded process explorer and the thing thats hogging my CPU is

    something called "HARDWARE INTERRUPT" under System Idle Process. Why is it

    doing this? And why after standby?

    Depends on what processes are actually running. Process Explorer will help

    you determine that.

    I would hazard a guess that you have some hardware driver that is not

    completely compatible and the Standby/Resume feature is stumbling over

    it. Do you have any hardware in the Device Manager that isn't working

    properly after a Resume? Or perhaps review your hardware drivers and

    update to the latest version from the manufacturer. NOT Microsoft Updates.
