I have had a bug bear that seemed to affect the reliability of system.
I eventually traced it down to the slow leaking of system handles. After endless searching I finally came across this very simple tip to view the system handles by process in the Task Manager. Bob's your uncle I found the culprit and killed it!
On a roll I decided to attack the high idle CPU which appeared to be caused by the various IM app's I had running. It turned out to be predominantly Microsoft Live Messenger 2011 and by following this tip to block the advertising it seems to have work.
It did not work immediately but eventually it settled down to a near 0% rather then the previosus 10% CPU utilisation.
