    Hello

    We have an IBM Netfinity 5000 server (Dual PIII 500 Mhz CPU, 1 GB RAM),
    installed with Win2000 Standard Server SP4 and Exchange 2000 Enterprise SP3
    with and about 200 mailboxes.
    CPU is constantly 50-60%, even when all Exchange, anti-virus, spam and other
    services are stopped.
    With Process Explorer we found out that "Interrupts" are taking up this CPU
    usage, even while System Idle is 98-99%. It is quite strange, becasue
    "Interrupts" that can only be seen with this 3rd party utility 'Process
    Explorer' are constantly using about 45% of server's CPU.
    We tried to restart server, after then CPU was normal, using about max 10%,
    but after a few hours it grew back to min 50% and staying at that number.
    (again 'Interrupts' went back from 0% to 45-47% of CPU usage).
    Does anyone have any solution? Can it be hardware? I was trying to find
    solutions also in Exchange forums, but they all agree that this is not
    'Exchange related problem'.

    Regards
    Miha
