If the CPU pegs for awhile, try opening task manager and check out which process is using the CPU. I had this problem and after finding the process, I checked and found it was a background program that was moved/loaded into my startup file and ran all the time. I took it out and haven't had any problems since. If you can isolate the process, even if it's a new XP feature, maybe it can be turned off.
