Task Manager is useful but you could look at another freeware utility
Process Explorer, which provides similar information but adds that
little bit extra towards seeing what the running processes represent.
For further information about Process Explorer see here:

To ascertain which service is causing the
problem select the svchost producing the high CPU usage, right click,
select Properties, Services. Note there are the full names and some
explanation of what each service does.
You will find further information on Services here:

To trace the particular Service involved you need to turn off each
service in turn and then restore it noting what effect it has on CPU
usage. However, you need to take care and watch what other Services are
dependent on that service. When you click on the Dependencies tab allow
it a little time to display the information.

Hope this helps.
