    svchost error at welcome screen

    sup fellow techies.

    I'm currently working on a notebook(dell inspiron e1705) at work and im curious if any of you have seen this issue.

    When the notebook was brought it, it wouldnt load the os, in normal mode or safe mode. ran a memtest, passed, ran checkdisk , passed.

    even though it could have been a thermal issue, i thought id try just doing a repair of the os with an oem disk. It worked wonders, and the pc booted to the welcome screen.

    However, now everytime it hits the screen with the user account login page, I get a windows popup: (sorry no SS)

    svchost.exe

    (random hex code) "The memory could not be written"

    press ok or abort to exit.

    no matter what option you pick, it still lets you load a user profile, but I know the customer will not be pleased if he sees this error everytime he turns on the pc.

    ive already disabled all startup files in msconfig, but i doubt thats even close since it loads before the user profile screen.

    Thinking bad os still? any advice would be great.

    Use a linux boot cd or something to recover any files you need and then reformat it

    There was a problem at one point with Windows Update Service that would do that. It'd wind up killing the print spooler and such as well. Could be you have a similar issue.
    As it's a fresh install, have you tried getting it to SP3 or anything yet?

    fixed it

    From the start menu: Run:services.msc to bring up the services window
    Select "Windows Driver Foundation - User Mode Driver Framework" which will bring up the Properties window.

    On the General tab, ensure that the Startup Type is set to Disabled

    Reboot
