  You'll get an error saying you can't kill system processes. Only user processes can be killed.

  Is that CPU really high? It's a cumulative figure since the checkpoint process started, and that occurs when the SQL Server service starts. Hence if SQL's been running a long time it's quite normal to see that the CPU done over all time is a relatively large number. That's not a measure of current consumption.
