    Hi, I've had my dv6000t for abotu a month now, and I'm satisfied it in everyway except this problem in WinXP Pro. I have this svchost.exe under NETWORK SERVICE that goes from 0% CPU usage at startup with 4mb of memory usage to 15% after using it for day with 40mb memory usage, and this is all when network is idle (not downloading or browsing anything). I thought it might be driver issue with nivida, bluetooth, lan, or something that is causing a the service to leak memory or something.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks,
    Ruibing

    mine has been on for 5 days... no reset...

    svchost 1-2% cpu 18 mb mem...

    i always revise every program i use every 6 months or so ... make sure my windows is up to date and the software is the latest version...

    i'm a long time windows user... if you learn to keep it clean... windows xp is rock solid.

    I know its the svchost for RPC, which has to be running, so something must be calling to it or something. I just can't figure out which one, The only few programs I use on this machien that I don't on my other laptop is RmClock, Bluetooth program from HP, and some HP device driver/software.
