CPU Use jumps to 100% and stays there perminantly?

This is a weird problem that seems to have popped up recently. Whenever my network connection is disrupted by my accidentally kicking the cable modem, my cpu use jumps to 100% and stays there until i reboot my computer. Nothing seems to remedy this at all. Then just earlier, I was deleting a huge ammount of files and it did the same exact thing again, the cpu use jumps to 100% and won't come back down and you can't fix it unless you reboot. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this and how to fix it?

Thanks for help.

If your CPU was really at 100% your computer would be freezing/jumping etc. The problem is the monitoring software.

It won't go back down even when you re-establish a connection?

The same thing happened to me when i installed office XP voice recognition software...i tried hard to get rid of it, it used to use my cpu like 100% most of the time, did a format and every thing was back to normal https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

Do you have MS Office installed?

If yes, when it happens again, open up your task manager and under processes look for 'Find' and or 'FindFast'. Kill it.

The 'monitoring software' is win2k's tast manager, so i do not think that it is at fault. Yes, it will not go back down when a connection is re-established. Office is not installed.

Does the performance of your computer seem to go down until it freezes or get's jumpy? If not, then It's a glitch prolly.
