  XP SP3 and i still get the Generic Host Process crash problem

Hi,

Yeah...well my computer crashes randomly,the Generic
Host Process for Win32 services is the culprit and usually happenes when i
disconnect from the network...wirless, Lan or a USB 3g service provider.
The RPC is down obviously...i know that prety much every windows service
relyes on it, so the computer cann't do anything that showing up that it will
restart in 50 seconds.Restarting RPC manually and using the command "shutdown
-a" brings back some of the functionality,but Copy Paste is not working and
also if i try to view service dependencies i get Win32 access
denied...interesting.Reboting solves the problem untill it arises again.

Last night i left my computer on thru the night(no one touched it) .This
morning i found that my notebook fans were spinning like crazy and that one
of the svchost.exe services was using one of the CPU cores at 100%%.Also this
svchost.exe was using 1.5Gb of RAM...obviously a memory leak.After closing
this service there was another(forgot it's name) that was at 100%% usage.All i
know is that it was under the NETWORK credentials.

I disabled automatic updates to see what happens over time,but if any of you
have any idea of what is going on, your input is much appreciated.
