There is no way for us to guess what's wrong with your computer because
you've provided no real information for us to start troubleshooting. You
can use the free Process Explorer to see what is using svchost.exe.

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

Well after spending a lot of time with this problem & not finding a
solution. I now bring up the windows task manager & delete svchost.exe that
is using all the time. So far I have the cpu back & no adverse effects that
I can tell. Interesting thing is I found my notebook with the same problem.
It must be some application I run. Go figure!

On a couple of my older IBM laptops, I'd arrive at the same situation and it
turned out to be related to using Microsoft Update rather than Windows Update.
Could that possibly be relevant to your machine?
