The SVCHosts is not the issue. I have at least 10 of them running.
Aside from that your problem is driver related. Not ALL drivers are done through Windows Update. If they were then what would be the purpose of manufacturer's having them on their website?
So basically you have told me that all you have done is updated your Video driver. You could possibly have bad sound, chipset, among so many other drivers on your system that are not automatically updated by Windows update and you wonder why there are issues? So yes it would happen with EVERY game cause it is due to it being a CORE issue. Also if you would check around you would see that ATI drivers are shotty at best. Some people have reverted back to drivers for Vista over the ones they are are Win7 ready due to all of the issues they have had with them.
So i still dont suspect any hardware problems. I suspect driver problems cause you havent done a single thing to try and resolve any issues. Relying on Windows Update is the first mistake. That updates Windows not every driver for every device.
