Unzip ProcessExplorer.zip, and double click on procexp.exe to run the program.
Click on View > Select Colunms.
In addition to already pre-selected options, make sure, the Command Line is selected, and press OK.
Go File>Save As, and save the report as Procexp.txt.
Attach the file to your next reply.

Either follow Broni's advice above (Process Explorer) or just open task manager to the Processes Tab and sort on the cpu column (click "cpu" twice at the top of that column to sort with highest usage at the top) and leave it open on your desktop. Next time the cpu spikes look at task manager and see which process is chewing the cycles.
