Hmm.

I should have mentioned to run PSTAT /C after closing everything, to
make sure there aren't any hidden processes (like the elephant) running.

If you have a maintenance partition and you boot to it, do you still see
the pulses?

If you really want to chase this down you can look for an I/O device
that's using cycles. You can REM out drivers and/or unplug the devices'
power feeds. Can you hear any disk activity when the pulses appear?

How high are the pulses?
