Here is another log file from RATTV3, I just let it run for 3 minutes while the spikes were happening, process it, and I closed it and copied the file.

It is likely you need to stop monitoring, clear the log folder, and restart monitoring.  The "old" data was included in this report.

But seriously... 


Cumulative Histogram for:      ACPI.sys  (ACPI.sys)
   #,         &nbs p;         Range, Label,       ISR Count,  DPC Count,  DPCTmr Count
  7,    7.00us to    7.99us,  <8.00us,        & nbsp;    0,   183694339,        &n bsp;    0
  8,    8.00us to    8.99us,  <9.00us,        & nbsp;    0,    34605257,        &nb sp;    0
  9,    9.00us to    9.99us,  <10.00us,             0,      453998,          ;    0
 10,   10.00us to   19.99us, <20.00us,     72968334,      137157,          ;    0
 11,   20.00us to   29.99us,  <30.00us,             3,         472,         &n bsp;   0
                                  TOTALS,      72968337,   218891223,        &n bsp;    0
 
ACPI.SYS just looks nasty - 73 million interrupts in the monitoing time frame, and 220 million DPCs?  Perhaps I'm suffering from scaling shock, but this seems excessive.
 
What OS are you running?

Ok I cleared out the logs folder of the rattv3 folder twice before doing these, one is without any cpu time spikes, and one is with the spikes. I will take one more with spikes when it happens again because it seems to have stopped midway into one of the traces.

"With spikes" showed ACPI.SYS having 3211409 ISRs and 9634019 DPCs over about 33 minutes.   That's about 100000 ISRs and about 300000 DPCs per minute.
 
"Without spikes" showed ACPI.SYS having 78 ISRs and 0 DPCs over about 5 seconds.  Probably need some more data there.

Well I reformatted, and I'm still getting the spikes. I uploaded another RATTV3 log of when they are happening, and I'll try to get a log when the spikes subside.

http://files.filefront.com//;6810335;;/

edit: even without the process "system" spiking, Im still getting a constant 1%-5% of interrupts and DPCs, so the next log im going to upload is still probably gonna have alot of points on both of them


Here is a logfile without "system" spiking

http://files.filefront.com//;6810412;;/

edit: and here is another log with just "system" spiking for the most part, although when I checked up on it at the end it seemed to have stopped spiking
