Take a look at processes running. I've seen wupdate get borked and two

By "processes running", you mean in ctrl/alt/delete window?

In most cases, I always have MS Outlook 2010 and My Computer minimized
on the toolbar, and nothing else running. The computer is idle, but
the Local Area Network Icon still shows a lot of activity. Checkint
it, I see many packets being sent and received on the Network.


If you are familiar with the processes that should be running and know
the issues when you shut them down you could do that to see if there is
something there.
