Hi doc,
Are you still getting those svchost.exe errors upon reboot.??
to get the list of the status all the services run this.
Start-> Run ->
%SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc /s
* just copy paste the above command in red in the run window.
This should give you a list of all services on your m/c and their current status.
you can post a complete screen shot(s) of the window here or you can , in that window select "Action" then "Export List" and post that .TXT fle here.
This will aid us in comparing your current services status with the windows default.
incase nothing or an error is displayed then further debugging will be required.
to undestand the problem better i am pasting the info about svchost as given in the Help and Support section.

MORE INFORMATION
The Svchost.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services part of the registry to construct a list of services that it must load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services. Therefore, separate services can run, depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This grouping of services permits better control and easier debugging.
Svchost.exe groups are identified in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Svchost
Each value under this key represents a separate Svchost group and appears as a separate instance when you are viewing active processes. Each value is a REG_MULTI_SZ value and contains the services that run under that Svchost group. Each Svchost group can contain one or more service names that are extracted from the following registry key, whose
Parameters key contains a
ServiceDLL value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Service
To view the list of services that are running in Svchost: 1.Click
Start on the Windows taskbar, and then click
Run.2.In the
Open box, type CMD, and then press ENTER.3.Type Tasklist /SVC, and then press ENTER.Tasklist displays a list of active processes. The
/SVC switch shows the list of active services in each process. For more information about a process, type the following command, and then press ENTER: Tasklist /FI "PID eq processID" (with the quotation marks)
The following example of Tasklist output shows two instances of Svchost.exe that are running. Image Name PID Services ======================================================================== System Process 0 N/A System 8 N/A Smss.exe 132 N/A Csrss.exe 160 N/A Winlogon.exe 180 N/A Services.exe 208 AppMgmt,Browser,Dhcp,Dmserver,Dnscache, Eventlog,LanmanServer,LanmanWorkstation, LmHosts,Messenger,PlugPlay,ProtectedStorage, Seclogon,TrkWks,W32Time,Wmi Lsass.exe 220 Netlogon,PolicyAgent,SamSs Svchost.exe 404 RpcSs Spoolsv.exe 452 Spooler Cisvc.exe 544 Cisvc Svchost.exe 556 EventSystem,Netman,NtmsSvc,RasMan, SENS,TapiSrv Regsvc.exe 580 RemoteRegistry Mstask.exe 596 Schedule Snmp.exe 660 SNMP Winmgmt.exe 728 WinMgmt Explorer.exe 812 N/A Cmd.exe 1300 N/A Tasklist.exe 1144 N/A The registry setting for the two groupings for this example are as follows:
