SVCHOST has 3 copies running.

I am at SP4 with all latest updates (except for media player 9).

PC locks for many seconds (anywhere from 20 to 120) and then responds.

How do I fix it?

- There are some known issues with video drivers conflicting with the
MS04-011 security update, causing high CPU usage....update your video
drivers (actually, it's a good idea to update all your HW drivers
frequently)

- Visit windowsupdate.microsoft.com and get fully updated.

I thought of that & last SUNDAY I updated
all my MSI mobo drivers (Video, sound, ethernet, and even flashed the BIOS)
& also updated the Via 4 in 1 chipset drivers.
