I saw in Task Manager that "svchost.exe" was taking up 10-20% CPU, so I terminated the process, and Windows said it had encountered an error and had to reboot, so I can't take that route.
svchost.exe is a system process. DO NOT end that.
Why not. I understand its a system process, but sometimes I get 5-6 separate svchost.exe running (Vista Ultimate) and 1-2 of them take up 100% (on both cores) CPU resource. I ended the ones the where taking up all the resource and left the ones that weren't taking any resources and my computer still worked fine, no errors, no need to reboot, everything ran fine.
