I have the dreaded "dw20.exe" process running wild on my Windows Server 2008. This is Dr. Watson error reporting, and when it comes up, it absolutely pegs the CPU.

It's a known problem and there are several solutions...for every OS except Server 2008, it seems. Here's the Microsoft KB topic on it:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841477

That has a list of registry keys to change, but they don't exist in Server 2008 (it was written for everything up to 2003). I did find a "PCHealth" key somewhere else in the registry, but I try not to just root around and change stuff randomly.

Any ideas?

Look at Microsoft TechNet -- Windows Error Reporting and the Problem Reports and Solutions Feature in Windows Server 2008

when in doubt, use process monitor. I have solved many problems thanks to it, should be installed by default as one of the system tools.
