B130 Pins SvcHost.Exe - Even After Repeated Rebuilds of OS
I've had a Dell Inspiron B130 for years. I but it new from Dell.
It doesnt do too much for a living - some office apps, some quicken, some browsing.
When it get's sick, I usually just move my data off and rebuild it with the supplied CD.
Lately, svchost.exe began pinning.
I tried a number of options and could not figure it out.
So I offloaded my data and I am rebulding it.
I have pretty canned instructions that I use.
They have always worked.
But I still have a pinned svchost.exe on almost everything.
My Procedure is attached.
Any help would be apprecited.
Here's the Overview
===================
0 copy your data from the machine
1 install xp again - boot using F12 - then boot from Dell supplied disk
(long format the drive )
2 Install Drivers (I have these on a stick)
1. Dell Notebook Software (R120775)
2. Intel Chipset (R114079)
3. Intel Video (R128346)
4. Conexant (R90851, R114200)
5. Broadcom (R108904, R150593)
6. Audio (R171789)
7. Wifi for me it's R115321
3 Connect to router - Attempt Windows Updates - Over and Over
This used to just work in previous rebuilds
Now it will not start the update.
It says My machine is not at a correct level (though this always worked before)
So, I just run the SP3 update directly (from a stick). That does install .
Then, I try to do a windows update.
Now, I can get to the site, and I begin to do an Express Install, but svchost.exe just pins at 100% again.
I've tried a few different tweaks on this process but no luck.
Any ideas ?
Thanks...

Reboot, F12, run Dell Diagnostics
If you don't have Dell Diagnostics on your hard drive, download it for the B130 and run it.
I personally suspect that you have a failing hard drive.

Clarification:
by "pinning", I mean using 98-100% of the CPU
Sorry if I was unclear

...Mike,
Might be because of the problem with Windows updates. Try registering the .dlls in this article.
Windows Updates fail to install
