If you can shed some light on what do I need to be digging for to possibly find problem relating to blocked by and blocking.
Current Scenario
Under locks/process id
there is spid 12 (blocked by 12)
and right below there is spid 12 (blocking)
I can see on which db this blocking is happenning but what else would you look for to see if there is any possible problem happenning.
when I go to properties for different types of lock type within that spid, it says
Last TSQL command batch: sp_unprepare;1
Thank you in advance for help.

It's not unusual (in SP4 of SQL 2000) to see self-blocking. It's usually nothing to worry about. It may indicate parallelism or just that part of the query execution is waiting for another part to complete.

A SPID blocking itself is actually SQL Server's way of showing that a SPID is waiting for I/O to complete... these never used to be shown in sysprocesses/sp_who2 until SP3 or SP4 (can't remember which one introduced the change).
