Odd CPU Use Bug...

[NPherno]

Right now QCD is showing 0% use of my CPU... I'm just playing an MP3...

But 3-4 times a day right now (16 hour days at the office... so... every 4 hours or so) my PC begins to show signs of CPU load, and it's always QCD, eating a highly variable & rapidly changing CPU % of between 70 & 30% (CPU's a P4 1.7Ghz BTW)... and I am only ever playing MP3s.

I've turned on & off any 'non-essential' Plugins, with no effect...

I've tried messing with various things while watching CPU load, and thusfar nothing appears to trigger it that I can locate.

But, when it hits, it hits hard, and a restart of QCD appears to be the only option...

Paul/anybody, do you have any tips on what to watch for? Any idea how to narrow things once I catch it acting up again (which is soon if the pattern keeps up)... ?

I've seen it hit virtually 100% on my work PC.
But this happens on just the odd occasion - nothing specific to any recent build that I can recall, nor do I have anything that I can pin down to it.
Playlists at work would never have exceeded 100 songs - they maybe average a couple of dozen. The only plugins it would have would be wma and maybe some other audio player / convertor plugin. Other than that, a default install, though a default install over the top of all the previous Betas, if that makes a difference.
Rare enough that I haven't gotten around to investigating it further, or reporting it ( though I should have at least made mention of it ).
