New spirit into broken body doesn't work

I guess sometimes even a fresh OS reinstallation cannot undo the work of an anti-miracle. Or, cranky old hardware simply refuse to work properly no matter what.

This laptop still exhibits bouts of CPU hijacking by svchost.exe once in awhile, although no where as bad as what it used to be with the old OS. I thought that is still within tolerable limits. Over the past weeks I have been slowly installing back all the programs and applications to make it as useful as it was. And tonight as I install back ActiveSync to re-mate my Windows Mobile PDA, it failed to establish a sustained connection, and I hit a phenomenon that made me go "wow...."

Right now while I am typing this very post. So if we use Task Manager to terminate programs and processes gone comatose, how do I kill off an unresponsive Task Manager?
