svchost.exe in syswow64 high CPU usage

Hi guys I need help with this svchost thing. This problem started March 31,2018 I noticed my laptop was getting warmer than usual, when I opened Task Manager an unnamed Process is using 50+ % of my CPU when connected to the internet. Sometimes there are 3 of them but only one is using my CPU. When I opened the file location it goes to the svchost.exe in the syswow64 folder. After about an hour my laptop would have a blue screen saying critical error. When it is running it closes my browser when I try to search for solutions for it.
I tried to run the FRST64.exe but it won't open when that process is running so I restarted my laptop and ran the scan before that unnamed process could start again. Please see attachments below. Thank you in advance for your help guys.

Hello,

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Hello,

Just a little over an hour and it's back already. Using 50+ % of my CPU again.
I can't run the FRST64.EXE while that thing is running.
Malware bytes found nothing.
What's the next step?

Hello,

Here is the latest fixlog.
I will observe again while I'm connected to the Internet and I will update you again later.

Thank you.

Hello
It's back again. Just under 5 mins.
What is this thing?
I can't run FRST64.exe while that process is running maybe that's why it's hard to fix it.
How can I run FRST64.exe while that process is running?

Hello,

Good day to you.
So my sister used the laptop for over two hours last night and she said that the unnamed process did not appear, so far looking pretty good.
I will test it for one more day then I will update you.

Thank you very much.
