Svchost crash

Whenever I try to boot my computer, I keep on getting a svchost and Generic 32 error. Sometimes I am unable to then properly shut down my computer and it freezes, other times it works fine but will constantly reboot.

Here are the relevant error messages. Note that I do have an HP PSC printer, but I have tried using the most updated driver (which isn't really so up-to-date) - I think Error 3 is the most important:

Did you ensure that you have downloaded and applied all Windows hotfixes and optional software programs? One of them or all of the updates applied will be able to solve the isue. Also, you can try to use a Registry Cleaner after that which will make the computer run faster. You can download TuneUp Utilities to do such thing.

I just upgraded to SP3 (although I had the problem with SP2) and have run Windows Update several times, so I should have the most updated hotfixes. WinUpdate also is set to run and install automatically and I haven't had any problems with that or crashes at that point.

The issue seems to be with whatever application is using svchost.exe. Did you try the below link to check your HP driver:

Do you see any yellow question marks in Device Manager? You can right click on My Computer icon on your desktop and then select Properties > Hardware > Device Manager. If you can see that, then what is the device error code?
