Question CPU requires defribulator

Here is a different problem. 'puter has slowed to a crawl.
Dell running Windows XP Home.
Using Windows Task Manager, it shows the Cpu and Kernel traces look like your worst ECG nightmare. The CPU often goes to 100% and stays there for a bit. During that bit the system essentially 'hangs up'.
During all of this activity there seems to be little noise from the hard drive.
The file page usage seems normal; increasing over time depending on the sites that have been searched.
Any thoughts about a fix before I call the nerds.
