Hello,

Some questions:

1) Does the server ever come out of the 100% CPU situation if you jsut
let it run?
2) How have you verified the 100% CPU situation? Do you have multiple
cores - does this happen across all cores or just one core?
3) Have you noticed a pattern of when it gets into this situation - do
you run certain reports, is it at a particular time of day, how many
times has it happened already ...?
4) What is the "normal" workload characteristic for the server? Have you
tried monitoring the database using the Windows Performance Monitor?
What's the I/O like on the disk during these high CPU times?

---

There are generally a few techniques to try to solve 100% CPU
situations. The first is request-level logging to see if you can
identify any incoming queries that may be causing the issue:

Running with the "-z" switch on the server may help identifying which
applications are connecting and disconnecting.

---

Outside of that, opening a technical support case and working with a
technical support rep to obtain internal engineering tools to better
identify the problem inside the server may be appropriate:

Hi
1.) no, can't do that. it's a customers db, he restarts. it's always
urgent that the user can work again.
2.) 4 Cores, all of them at 100%
3.) no
4.) The usual workload isn't that high. it's a high-performance
system.

In addition to what Glenn said, see:
