igfxsrvc.exe causing high CPU utilization

Recently every time I boot up my windows server 2008 the CPU load shoots up because of this exe, igfxsrvc.exe, which is related to the Intel graphics driver. After googling a bit it seems that it's another exe, igfxpers.exe, that's causing the problem by repeatedly calling igfxsrvc.exe. To remedy this, we can simply remove igfxpers.exe from the registery in the following location.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MIcrosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Once I removed it from the registry and rebooted, I no longer have the problem.
