how do you check what is running in wmiprvse.exe

WMIPRVSE is using almost 100% of my CPU and has all but stopped my computer.
If I reboot it will work normally for a short period of time. (varies 15
minutes to 1 1/2 hours) then back to slowing the system down. When I reboot
my computer it takes around 1 hour to shut down. How can I find out what is
running in WMIPRVSE?
