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.
