Something on my laptop is maxing out the CPU now and then. It's an i7 so I assume it must have to be a relatively big issue for that to be the case. When it happens, my laptop locks up for a few seconds, audio sounds very strange (I imagine it's looping really fast).
When it happens, I fire up task manager and can see the spike, but the option to sort by processor consumption descending and take a look at what it is has gone (it suddenly drops).
Is there anything out there that can be configured to log process details of any process that pushes the CPU over X where X, in this case, is probably 95% or so.
