Hello guys,

I have sad news my computer is going CRAZY !!! :chair:

svchost.exe is taking 100% of my CPU, could somebody help me please this is really anoying, it slows down my whole computer with the fan running crazy without any applications running.

First of all I checked on my processXP and my system idle process is at 0.

Already had the problem and had to reformat my whole computer, is there any other way of removing this problem beside reformating. I don't want to loose all my files all over again.

PS: I have XP SP3

Thanks in advance,
Louis
 
  • Visit the Microsoft website and Download Windows Update v3 WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe and save it to your C:\ drive
  • Download this file fix_svchost.bat (right click and choose save as..) and save it to your C:\ drive
  • Download this file WindowsXP-KB927891.exe (right click and choose save as..) and save it to your C:\ drive
  • Reboot the computer and log in to Windows XP in safe mode. To do this, press F8 just before the WindowsXP logo shows up during boot and press up to choose “Safe Mode”
  • Once Windows has loaded and you have the option of which user account to use, log on as “Administrator”.
  • Click Start > Run, choose the Browse button and find the fix_svchost.bat file you saved before, press Open, then OK.
  • A black screen will pop up and white text will scroll past. Wait for this process to finish as it could take several minutes. It will close itself when its finished.
  • Once the black screen disappears, Click Start > Run, choose the Browse button and find the WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe file you saved before, press Open, then OK. Follow the prompts as it installs.
  • When Windows Update Agent finishes installing, Click Start > Run, choose the Browse button and find the WindowsXP-KB927891.exe file you saved before, press Open, then OK. Follow the prompts as it installs.
  • Reboot the computer
this should fix the problem
