I built my own computer with an AMD motherboard and about two weeks ago
svchost.exe started taking up 100% of the cpu making the machine worthless.
With the Vista Community help I traced it to Readboost and disabled the
service returning my computer to a healthy state. I don't have a handle why
this started happening; however, two weeks ago was the first time I used a
memory stick in the computer just to transfer some files and then removed it
using the remove hardware function. Does anyone have any ideas is this a "new
feature" of Vista.
