CPU Usage at 100 % after waking from standby or hibernation help!!!!
Ok,
I have searched the forums and although MOST of what I have seen seem similar, they do not address my particular issue.
I am selling an I8200 and I did a fresh install of WIN XP Home.
I have never really used the laptop until I have been getting it prepped up.
When I either leave it on for a long period of time, or close the lid (without powering down) it goes into either hibernation or standby (not sure)
When I "wake it up" it is Horrendiously slow
so I hit CTRL ALT DEL (takes a good 45 sec or more) go into task manager and notice that 100% of the CPU is in use... so I say..."what the f..." because I am not running any programs...
so for kicks and giggles , i check...and as i said... no programs are running...
so i check PROCESSES and there is ONE process taking up 99% of CPU usage....
the process is..... SYSTEM (i am sure some of you expected something else)
and from what I see, this only seems to happen when coming back from hibernation/standby
Oh and by the way, this is happening with a FRESH install of WIN XP HOME (without service pack one) then i figured let me install all the patches and updates..... still same issue...
How about that one? ... can anyone help?
I have a Dell Inspiron 8200
1.6 Ghz processor
512 MB Ram
30 Gb Hdd
Nvidia Geforce 4 440 go 64 mb video card
Windows XP Home
802.11b (internal wireless)
dvd fixed
24x cdrw removable

See, yet another person.. alot of suggestions are spyware...but when you have a fresh install what else can it be...and why for me and the other person who posted , is this only happening with hibernation?...I have XP SP 1 ...so SP2 wouldnt be the problem if its happening in SP 1 as well...
I posted in 2 forums (power management and software) and i was told to try to install the chipset driver...i tried that...still no good....
Any Dell moderators with any insight?

Has anyone found a resolution for this? I"m having the exact same problem....computer becomes useless after waking from standby. CPU shows 100%, only rebooting solves the problem.
I have a Latitude C400. The funny thing is, it used to recover from standby flawlessly. I don't know what's happened recently, but it won't recover anymore.
Just two days ago, I reformatted the hard drive and resinstalled everything and it still happens!
Any solutions? I'm going nuts!
