I am having trouble with my PC. (Windows XP)

Due to most of you being computer pros here, let me give you a summary of the problem.

Firstly, when my computer loads up, the wallpaper glitches. It displays my previous wallpaper, and to fix that, I have to end the process "explorer", then create it again. Then my old wallpaper comes back up. And what really angers me, is when 5 mins after that incident, my cpu rate goes up to 100%, lagging my computer like hell. When I check the processes, I see that .svchost is the one causing the problem. Well, a simple fix to this is ending that process, but I want to know how to fix it permantly. I have searched, and found nothing that is helpful to me. I have followed tutorials on how to fix this, but none worked.

Also am experience lag problems, with games like Garry's Mod. If anyone can solve one of my problems, please, reply.

svchost.exe is the "service host" process, it contains many system services. If you close it many other things can stpo working.

I see you have good old WinXP there. It's probably full of crap and viruses.
The easiest way out of that is to reinstall. That's what I always did back then, because trying to repair a badly broken XP system sucks. And while you're at it, I recommend you upgrade to win7 or 8. XP is old
