Ending a process bogs down 1 core of a Core2Duo

So yeah, whenever a process stops responding, one of the two cores is busy at ~90% (via task manager). I can start up another process (like explorer) but it just hangs since I'm assuming it's getting no CPU time. I end up not being able to do anything, including restarting properly, and I have to pull the power to shut down the computer.

Note that the system performs flawlessly otherwise, this just happens when a process stops responding.

What the hell is going on? Any ideas?
