Svchost recently started spiking memory and disk usage on my computer. This is annoying as when it is I can no longer download, install software or change anything on my computer as it refuses with a message saying it cannot write to memory (or there is an insufficient amount). Here is my OTL log:

Other programs also randomly spike to insane amounts for basic programs.

Hi there as you have windows 8 I will need to use a different analyser

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Select additions at the bottom
  • Press Scan button.

  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please attach both logs generated.

Are you using MSES for an antivirus ?

Also are you doing some intense graphics work ?

CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:
