Is there a built-in event for when a process takes 100% of a cpu (this is on a windows box, if it matters)?

I know I can alert for just the cpu being pegged, but I'm actually more interested when a single process goes wild, and it would be good to have the process name in the alert.  This is assuming it might be any random process. so I wouldn't be wanting to tie it to very specific predetermined processes.
