Might also try Resource Monitor for more granularity.

  Dave Patrick Decided to keep monitoring it and it would seem that the problem is netsvcs, the latest slow down had the cpu usage against the BrokerInfrastructure Service so not sure were to look now.

    If you happen to have anti virus installed there may be some conflicts, in which case I'd reach out to the anti virus vendor.

  Dave PatrickManaged to find the service that is causing the cpu 100% issue, MpsSvc - Windows Firewall, now all I have do do is find out why.
