The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

CPU %, Avg. Disk Queue Length and Pages/Sec too high

Asked by smalleysmalley in Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: queue, disk, high, length

I have a Windows Server 2003 service pack 1 with SQL 2000 server service pack 3 installed.  I have all the latest Microsoft Updates for the OS, but I don't know if I do for SQL.  It was working OK and then started to slow down.  Now it is CRAWLING.  Sql and an Access program take up all the space.  Over the night, I have been watching and they have been both at around 30-40% usage (with nobody in the office).  I loaded Server Performance Advisor but it would not run and it immediately sent the CPU % to 100.  When I closed that program, the other two were still up at 30-40%.  Sql was usually a lot higher (like 80-100%).  I am running a full virus scan right now and it has the CPU, Avg. Disk Queue Length and Pages/Sec counters going crazy.  The CPU is basically 100.  The disk is defragged.  It has a 150 GB disk and P4 1.80 GHz with 1 GB of RAM.  The virus scanner just stopped and there aren't any virus's.  ALso, the CPU % is now averaging 77 but the pages per sec is at 0.  When I check the task manager though, it says that sqlserver is using 34% CPU and 650 MB RAM.  The next two processes listed are VPC32 and Rtvscan using 31 and 26 MB RAM.  Pbeagent is using 13 MB.  Maybe this is a SQL question...is it using too much memory?  If so, what would cause that?  How can I fix it?  Thank you so much for any answers!
