We currently use ASP playground forum. When a forum manager adds a new forum, when the online users are crowded, SQL server cpu graph peaks at almost 80%. It never falls back.

I thought it may be associated with the count of executed queries (per time) that concern "pgd_Forums" (the table that stores all forum data, including names and ID's of all forums)

We experience that problem since 2 years. There have been 4 programmers that have not any idea why does it happen. Today i have found this forum. Sooo, what do you advise? :)

Follow these steps if might this will help
1. try to find out the SQLs running on server during this time period.
2. Try to check the Indexs health on table on which operation is performing.
3. Please post the SQL version and server configuration detail if you can.

thanks

High CPU utilization is typically caused by missing indexes. Have the execution plans been verified for the long-running queries? Has SQL Profiler been run to determine what the long-running queries are? How often do you run update statistics?
