SQL Server 2008 CPU usage goes to 100% - troubleshooting help needed?
- by Ali
I have a fairly powerful database server having SQL Server 2008 R2 installed. There is only one database on it which is being accessed from 2 servers (around 5/6 applications). The problem is as soon as applications start pointing to the database, system's CPU usage goes upto 100% with sqlserver itself using 95+%.
I have checked profiler, there aren't any heavy queries running there.
I have checked active connections, they are hardly 150.
Still CPU usage is around 100% and applications are experiencing slow response/connection to database server are getting refused.
Database grus, I really need some ideas here. Thanks.
