svchost is giving me issues, and has been for a while. Specifically, it's the RPC one, so just stopping it isn't an option. Basically what it does is it sits around eating CPU usage all the time, usually between 20% and 80% (it seems random). Reformatting didn't work, I'll say that up front. I've tried all the other fixes I could find online. Anyone have any ideas?

Turn off automatic updates.
Now it just hovers around 20%...
If reformatting didn't work, I'd suspect a hardware problem. Swap out your hardware bits till it stops being broken?
I can't see this being a hardware problem... I've had this problem with a few of my Dell's before. It's Microsoft's fault... try Windows Vista maybe? :-\
My computer isn't the biggest fan of Vista (it doesn't run so well). Maybe if Newby ever got me Vista, I'd install it.

I've worked with dozens of computers, and that's never happened before. I find it unlikely that it's a random Windows foible.

I'm not sure how to play this game? ??? -> :(
Vista DVDs are always all-versions. If you have one that's both 32-bit
AND 64-bit, though, that's impressive. :P
