Knew it would come to this…
The server has been running at 90% CPU for a few days.
Investigation using Process Explorer tells me that the culprit is the Interrupt process that is chewing up 50% to 70% of the CPU ( DEMigrator.exe was the other suspected culprit) . As you can imagine, this has a wonderful effect on Server response times and watching SageTV 🙂 .
I figured that the Hauppanuge Nova 500-T board that I use for sageTV (over the network using thier add-in) was throwing all the interrupts ( since its not officially supported on WHS, right?).
I update the driver off the Hauppanuge’s website. And Reboot. No change.
I physically remove the PCI-board from the the server. Still no change.
Nothing else has changed on the server(save for the fact its now in danger of blowing up from overheating).
So help please!!!!!!!
PS I cross-posted this over at the WHS Forums
