SVCHOST.EXE using 100% CPU
svchost.exe is using 100% cpu usage an making it hard to do anything.
I have reinstalled win xp that did not work.
I have formated the comp an that worked for a bit then it just starts doing it again.
At current i have 4 svchost running an 1 im not sure about is called scvhost.exe an system is using 40% of cpu.
i have 2200amd asus a7n8x deluxe mb 256 ddr
This only started when i got my new video card asus gf fx 5200.
Previously i have had the blaster virus if this helps but during that time an now i have done atleast 5 full formats due to frustration an my video card lagging.
Can someone help me out here plz with really detailed instrutions plz.
TY kojak
I have tried this answer an now i can actually end task svchost.exe but after like 2min it starts up again. Where as before if i were to close it my comp would shut down.
Click Start > Run. (The Run dialog box appears.)
Type:
SERVICES.MSC /S
in the open line, and then click OK. (The Services window opens.)
In the right pane, locate the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION: A service named Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator exists. Do not confuse the two.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right-click the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service, and then click Properties.
Click the Recovery tab.
Using the drop-down lists, change First failure, Second failure, and Subsequent failures to "Restart the Service."
Click Apply, and then click OK.
so not select " Restart the service".Just select " Take no action ".Press ctrl+alt+delete and click on processes.Then find out the svchost.exe that is 19800 kb in size and does not run for either " network" or " local service" but runs for "system".That should clear up.Well,it has worked for me i don't know about others...
