slow after standby

[bernard]

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.
