It happened on my old computer before so I thought it was something with the hardware so I got a new one. Now on the new one, I was running for 1 week without rebooting. I rebooted, and after about 3 hours, one of the processes on the computer did the same thing that it did on my old computer. It's the System process. It hoggs my CPU when loading internet pages, and, certain applications. For example, when loading www.happyhardcore.com my CPU usage goes up to 100% while before I rebooted my computer this morning it barely hit 20%. As well when I load Dreamweaver, it must take atleast 10 minutes to get past the load screen. I do not know what it is but I'm thinking it's a bad installation copy of Windows I've got. I need help please! Screenshots are available upon request.
Ok, you're wrong!
Happyhardcore.com is a website dedicated to the Happy Hardcore music genre. I must admit it does have some heavy coding but before it NEVER did this.

Yes get Adaware, update it immediately, and run full deep scan.
Delete all the bugs and see if that helps solve it.
If not then you are gonna have to shut down programs one by one to see which one is the culprit.
Go here to get adaware...

I tried AdAware and Spybot S&D, removed everything and STILL same problem. I'll try installing ALL drivers.

Andrej, sorry about the misunderstanding. I see KTTD removed my post. Okay, but everything analytically I said was correct.
>First, check your Task Manager, esp. Processes. I've seen this kind of thing, and it seems that something gets loaded into memory that is hogging resources. One thing you might do is a screenshot/printout of Processes when you first boot and your computer is running good. Then load Dreamweaver, and if it slows down again, immediately do another screenshot of Processes, and compare the two. Look for something new loaded after your probs started. Of course, Dreamweaver itself will load drivers, but if you can discern which they are, whatever is left may be your problem. At least it is a start.>Go to Housecall, Trend Micro's website and run their free online scan, just in case you have a trojan that activates on certain cues. Just click on "scan now" and follow the directions.
http://housecall.trendmicro.com>It doesn't sound like a bad install of XP; XP seems to be stable from how you described. A bad install would give you crashes and blue screens.
This is the kind of hair-tearing thing that you just have to keep trying different things until you find it.

Here's the thing. I uninstalled one of the updates a few things ago, and it dissappeared. Just a few hours ago, it started doing it again. This is bloody ridiculous and pissing me off!

I have the exact same thing going on. When I am on the internet my system process shoots to 30 IEXPLORE.exe is around 30 and my cpu usage will stay around 50% its really ticking me off. I have a p4 3.6G processor which acts like a dual processor because of the hyperthreading. I have 512megs of ram on this new machine w/XP - my 400mhz machine gets around faster with win2k and that pisses me off. Have you found anything out yet? Please let me know.
