I have this same problem, or did have, and I saw several references to it being caused by HP drivers. While this may or may not be the case, what I looked at was any new hardware or removable media that was connected via USB port. I was getting this problem after using a Attache 2 G.B USB Flash Drive, via USB port. When it is not connected I have no problems at all. Also, you might note, that the USB port I was using, was not a high speed USB port, so that may be helpful to you as well. So check out your USB ports and all components connected and elimanate 1 at a time until you find the culprit. Then youll have an idea on where to start your search for updated drivers.

Generic host process for win32 services has encountered problem and need to close we are sorry for the inconvience -- can u plz gimme a solution for this. This pop is very disturbing. Plz help

Read the Thread here.

Note:-
Generic Host Process for Win32 Services or svchost.exe is a legal and essential component of Windows which is used to host services which run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).

Please note that legal svchost.exe should reside in Windows\System32 folder and should not appear in startup list.

If it does appear, do a Malware/spyware/virus scan on your PC.
