Today, my PC has been locked up several times by svchost.exe. This process is eating up 100% of my PC's CPU usage, leaving the system in a frozen state. I have had to end the process manually, but on restart, the same thing happens and locks down the PC. When I end the process, the only thing that seems off is the taskbar at the bottom of the screen loses the XP blue colour scheme and the font changes too. I also noticed that there are quite a few instances of svchost.exe running, but one one hogs resources, which is the one I end manually.
I am running Windows XP on AMD 64 3200+ and the system has been OK for over 16 months. I have run ad-aware, a-squared and AVG. All three state I am free from threats.
What is the problem here?? Any suggestions?
