Process SVCHost.exe Win7/64 / DNSCache service uses 100% of CPU
I see this question that arises often, even if none of the above seem to apply to my situation. I hope someone can help me.
My laptop Win7/Pro/64 has developed a strange problem in recent weeks. Sitting idle, the svchost.exe process will amp - up to 100% cpu - essentially lock down the computer until I have manually end the process through the Task Manager. It consumes cpu in 25% incremenets... from 25, then a few minutes later increasign to 50, 75 and 100%. When I look at the services running in svchost.exe that I see he's DNSCache who is the culprit. By the time I hit 100% cpu, there are four cases of service management DNSCache - each with 25%. My first thought was malware... so I did scan with McAfee and Microsoft AV/Malware detection complete sw and found nothing. Any suggestions on what I can do?

I have windows xp edition sp3 family. I hit the power button to hibernate the pc but I think an automatice update was running. Pc crashes when windows resumes after hibernation. I forced a re-boot, but now the svchost.exe to netsvcs process uses a lot of RAM and CPU. I have a Dell Dimension 8250 with 1 GB of RAM. Svchost uses > 600 MB of memory and 100% of the CPU unless I have stop the DHCP service. When I stop DHCP the svchost stops using CPU and memory affected slowly decreases to about 150 MB and remains at this level. But without DHCP I do have access to the network.
After installing SP3 recently I started having some weird problems, as I lost my printer and had to re - install the software. Also noticed that after re-booting and desktop appears completely empty, the screen turns white and the taskbar at the bottom will appear empty for about 30 seconds, then reappears. PC seems to be more slow tha before installing SP3.
I've tried everything. Nothing stopped the svchost to chew all the memory, virtual memory and time processor. Had to re - install windows xp.

Windows Shell common Dll does not respond and the Windows Rundll32 host process has stopped working
I got two errors above and try to solve them without my success. My computer is slow, and several programs say "not responding" for a while until what they caught finally upward. It seems that I have a driver problem. Any advice?
Hello riondet,.
Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.
How long did you receive these error messages? Did you change your operating system before thses errors? All new software/hardware installed or new Windows updates?
It seems that a dll is missing. You can fix it easily if you have a vista bootable disk. Just boot from the disk and click on repair your computer and then click on start option repair and it will do the rest.
or, if the problem is not resolved, then insert the vista dvd and then open the command prompt as administrator, and then run the following command...
C:\sfc scannow
and then press ENTER.
Please let us know status. Thank you! Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

host process for windows services, play music
last week, I started hearing random music on my computer, even if no other known program were running. I hear he plays a kind of music of Asian style, something that resembled a broadcast radio ads and a moment ago techno style music. Happens, I think, random time of day/night, so I have to mute the speakers. While browsing the web, I saw some thing on the opening of the mixer Volume and audio playback programs list, I've seen the music playing under "Windows Service host process" and I would like to know if there is anything, I can do to get rid of this and prevent it playing music again. I cut only this one, but it will disappear and come back and become audible. I thought it could be a virus and did a full scan with McAfee (which is updated), but he returned again.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
You really need to do is to turn off System Restore before you run Malwarebytes. Re-start, and then run the anti-malware, followed by your antivirus.
Re-run Malawarebytes
Re-boot then turn on the system restore and immediately set a restore point.
Or try this.
See you soon,.
