Ok, first of all, foundhardware is not working properly. No new drivers cannot be installed OR removed, if I start "add/remove hardware" it says there is already an installation running.

Ok, before anyone helps me with that two installation error, consider this.
-I have done about 12 different fixes for that "two installations" error. Nothing worked, searched google up and down BUT I believe this is only a SYMPTOM and not the actual problem because...

When I plug in a new peripheral device via usb, the bubble does NOT pop up, UNLESS I shut down *one* of the many processes labeled "svchost"(usage is at 50%). After I do that, "found new hardware" bubble pops up, and I am able to install or remove drivers. I might have to do this several times during this process though.

This makes installing anything almost completely impossible, Device manager constantly crashes as does driver installs.

Other notes to ponder:
-When svchost is closed, it says "plug and play monitor found" but does not install correctly(though current chipset drivers are installed, note if I try to reinstall drivers they fail as well)
-Driver installs/uninstalls still fail in safe mode(obviously unless I close the svchost process)
-In device manager(when it works) There are multiple listings for monitor(3) and two listings for Display drivers...is this normal? DM crashes when removal is tried.

Have tried stopping extra start-up processes, removing temp files, etc.

I'm stuck!
