High CPU and Memory usage, Without a reason

[softgator]

Hi all
Weird and annoying problem started for me yesterday, the CPU is always at 30-35% load, won't go lower than that, while nothing is running, even after I restart the PC it's still the same.
Memory is at 2 GB usage more or less all the time (out of 8), and sometimes I get picks where it uses 7 GB and my PC just freezes... only a reboot fixes that until the next time it happens...

I looked at the running services but I can't see anything odd there...
Another thing is that if I look at my mouse pointer there's always this "circle" thingy near it, like it's "thinking"/loading something constantly...

Can I get some help? Thanks!

my rig is as follows:

CPU: I5 2500K @ 4.2Ghz + Mugen 2 | MBoard: GB GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 | GFX CARD: Gigabyte GTX570 1280MB GDDR5 320-bit interface OC Ver 780Mhz | RAM: Kingston 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1333Mhz | PSU: Seasonic 620W Modular | HDD: Samsung 1TB Sata II 32MB SpinPoint F3 x2

There is a known problem with high memory use and svchost.exe.

Read about the problem and fix here FIX: Memory Leak in Svchost.exe

What you linked is referring to windows 2000... see the date even, 2005.
Also are we sure that this is what is causing the problem?

SVCHOST is definitely the cause. its using 1 gig.

You can in vestige further by using an app called process monitor. Perhaps the same fix applies.

Did you ever find out which processes are running under this particular svchost.exe. You can do that with Process Explorer. Right click on the svchost.exe in question > Properties > Services tab.

In "Services", set Bonjour to disabled, then stop the service. Reboot and see if that app is causing the high CPU ... also, see if the "circle" thingy is gone.
