    svchost.exe high CPU usage.

    Hello!

    Okay, here is the deal. My 4 year old PC-s motherboard fried itself and well I had to buy a new CPU, a motherboard and new RAM. CPU AMD Athlon II X2 3,0 Ghz Dual Core, Apacer 1333 MHz 6 GB RAM DDR3 and ECS Elitegroup A750GM-M V7.0 motherboard. I had XP Home on this PC but the new motherboard needed win 7 or win Vista otherwise I couldn't play any games at all. Now I have Win 7 but the prob is that I have 2 svchost.exe-s in task manager(maybe more) and they are taking both toghether like 50% CPU or sumthin like that. Got a pic here too. Sometimes higher, sometimes lower. And it'l like this when I mainly DO STUFF. Just anything and then I see that my CPU is on like 70%.

    And this is just normal for my PC at the moment. But not normal for anyone.....
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi ardop12

    The first svchost is is a program that is designed to run other programs and many of the system services in Win 7.
    So we need to find out what process are using your CPU Task Manager isn't to great at that.
    A free program called Process Explorer can be download from Sysinternals here Process Explorer
    This Gives you far more information on whats running on your PC. This is a standalone program and doesn't need installing.
    It comes as a zip file which will need extracting. Easiest way is to place the zip into a new folder and extracting it there.
    You can then run it from there. There are two application file either procexp for 32 bit version of win 7 or procexp64
    for the 64 bit version.
    Once you run the program select View option from the menus at the top. Then select show process from all users
    Now by hovering your mouse pointer over the svchost using the CPU you can get more details of what process is using the CPU.
    With that information we can better advise what needs to be done.

    Hello

    Could you in Process viewer right click on each of the problem svchost.exe and select properties.
    In that window select the threads tab in there the you will see a list of processes using the cpu.
    Make a note of the names ( or a screen shot) of items under start address for both of the problem svchost.exe
    and post it here

    Hey

    Well, here you go, I can't make anything of it. Silly me.

    These are just with the same filename. But I have those Threads tab pic-s.

    Regards ardop12

    (edit): edited this because I made the pic-s a bit wrong, I made new ones and they should be okay.

    Hello

    In your 3_.gif the main user is audiosrv.dll which is connected to your audio drivers. The process is required for Windows to work properly so cannot be stopped.
    This could be happening if you have a problem with your audio drivers.
    We need to see if this problem still persist when your PC is clean booted
    To do a Clean Boot in Windows 7 you need to accessing the System Configuration Utility

    Select Start and type msconfig in the search box and press Enter.

    Now in msconfig

    Select the General tab, choose Selective Startup
    Uncheck Load Startup Items
    Now Select the Services tab
    Put a tick in Hide all Microsoft services
    Now select the button Disable all
    Select OK and Restart yuour PC.

    Now Check your CPU in Task Manger to see if the problem still persists.

    Can you tell me if the problem still persist in a clean boot?

    Once done you can Revert to normal start doing the following.

    Restart msconfig and do the following

    Select the General tab, choose Normal Startup
    Select OK
    Select Yes, when asked to restart your computer

    Hi

    That's good news. I was of the same opinion but thought a clean boot would help confirm it.
    Keep us posted and if all is OK please post back.
    So others who who may have this problem and come across this thread.
    Can benefit as well.
