Problems with audio

[agustintorre]

OK when I restart my computer my svchost.exe uses up all of my CPU for like 5 min. (I know its my audio thing because when I "end process" and I try playing music or something it don't work, so then I have to reboot.)
I wanna know if its normal for this to happen because I cant do anything while this is happing.
It hasn't happened to me before, just started happing like 2 weeks ago.



Thanks.

Run super antispyware?

Yep, I always keep my computer defraged and spyware/virus free.

open a command window and type in "Tasklist /svc" without the quotes and it will give you a list of what svchost is running

Do you mean in the command prompt?
I tried it and it didn't work.

Make sure you open a command prompt... then type in:

Code: Select all

tasklist /svc

Should give you a list...

Doesn't work for me, either, even if I CD to Windows or System32

It's not necessarily your audio causing the problem, to find out which sub service of svchost is causing the error you need to use Process Explorer. What I have seen as the most common cause of this error is Windows automatic updates.
