I've done all that I know to try and sort this out and as much as google has been useful, I have yet to find a soultion to my problem. Hopefully one of you will be able to help me out:
It started a week or so ago, the PC would start up and the notorious svchost.exe would spike up to 98% CPU usage. Closing it would cause the internet to disconnect and such. Recently, it's stopped spiking on startup, however, when I try to run the Network Setup Wizard, I encounter some problems. (I need to do this, because for some reason, I can't access the internet on the other PC) I can get through to the final stage, where the animation of the PC and the configuration happens - after a few moments in there, svchost.exe spikes and Network Setup Wizard just sits there, constantly doing that animation and going nowhere.
If I endtask on the svchost.exe, it stops with an error saying it could not be completed, the internet drops out too - however, this is strange too, it still says I am connected, although I cannot browse the internet. I have to restart to get back the internet.
I've done multiple AVG scans, Ad-Aware Scans but it hasn't fixed it. I tried a HijackThis scan, but when it gets to the O23 Services part, the PC shutsdown and I get that lovely bluescreen crap.
I also have problems with Windows Firewall turning itself off, and me not being able to restart the Firewall/ICS service.
I'm at a loss here, I can't complete the Network Setup Wizard, svchost.exe spikes, and I can't access the internet on my other PC (which I have had to manually assign IPs to because they won't renew IP otherwise).
Help would be most appreciated, thank you.
