Vista ultimate excessive cpu usage

[paudashlake]

alright, so should I change the startup items back to the way they were originally?

[Broni]

Yes. Restart, and by that time I'll ask you to do something else.

[Broni]

Get Process Monitor: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
Open it.
Go Filter>Filter...
Select Process Name from drop-down menu, type svchost.exe in the field.
Click Add, then OK.



Go Edit>Clear Display.
From now on, only svchost.exe entries should be displayed.
Run the tool for a few minutes.
Click File>Save
Make sure, the settings read as below:



Save the log to known location.
Zip it, and attach it to your next reply.

okay, every time i run this, it says I am out of memory.  So I open task manager and it says i am using all 4gb of ram.  What is this about?  So when it says I don;t have enough memory, it shuts down.

[Broni]

Hmmmm....I have no clue.
Does it happen, when you try to open the program?

[paudashlake]

i can open the program just fine, but when it runs for a minute or so, it uses all 4gb of ram, says it is out of memory, then shuts down.

[Broni]

Are you able to set that filter thing?
If so, running it for a minute will give us a lot of info, if you're bale to save the log.

[paudashlake]

I am not able to save the log.  When it tries to save, it loads it for a long time then craches

[Broni]

You know what?
Let's make sure....

I saw all your logs, and they're all clean.
I asked evil to lock that thread.

Very, very puzzling, sir.

I'd like to see one more log....

Download avz4.zip from here

• Unzip it to your desktop to a folder named avz4
  
• Double click on AVZ.exe to run it.
  
• Run an update by clicking the Auto Update button on the Right of the Log window:
  
• Click Start to begin the update
  

Note: If you recieve an error message, chose a different source, then click Start again

• After the update, from the "File" menu, choose "Standard Scripts"
  
• Put a check next to item 2: Advanced System Investigation
  
• Click Execute selected scripts
  
• At the next prompt, click the OK button
  
• Let the scan run and click "OK" when the completion prompt pops up
• Now Close out of the Standard Scripts window, and exit AVZ
  
• Navigate to the avz4 folder and locate the folder LOG
  
• Inside the LOG folder you will find virusinfo_syscheck.htm and virusinfo_syscheck.zip
  
• Attach the compressed file, virusinfo_syscheck.zip, to your next reply.
