Default svchost.exe causing all kinds of problems.

First of all, when the system is at idle and I'm not doing anything, svchost.exe is constantly requesting CPU and as you can see in the task manager, it just bounces up and down. This is all from svchost.exe.



When I go into hibernate or standby and turn the computer back on, it's using 100% CPU for a few seconds and then returns to the jumping up and down. Now, svchost.exe is using about 150mb of RAM. Of course, ending the process starts the system shutdown which I cancel by "shutdown -a" in command prompt. After this, other programs start using 100% CPU.

I've tried repairing the OS with no luck. Anyone know what's going on here? I've done some searching around and found that I'm not the only one with this problem, but I've never actually seen anyone get the problem fixed.
