Compaq CQ62 laptop, 2GB RAM
New SSD
Installed Win7 64-bit. Clean install thumb. Windows Update causes svchost to peg CPU @ 99%
Pressed F**k it button.
Installed Win7 32-bit. Different thumb, created from scratch. Windows Update causes svchost to peg CPU @ 99%
svchost trades/shares peg time with TrustedInstaller
Disabled automatic updates, restart. PC idles with TrustedInstaller half-pegged to pegged.
Laptop did present high CPU pegging before SSD, but old HDD also failed SMART - I attributed the CPU peg to issues related to the failing HDD.
I have never seen a clean install from a clean source do this.
CPU/system temps nominal.
SSD firmware problem?
