• check the processes running in sys processses and the same using 'input buffer' and verify whether the query being run is fully optimized for eg indexes are missing and '*' in the queries instead of the column name.

    Verify the processor affinity and IO affinity being used. I have came across the same situation and did the mentioned things to get rid of it.

    Hope it solves your problem...
