aspnet.exe running at 50% CPU

I posted this earlier on but no reply. Reposted it again.

I'm running IIS 6 and SQL Server 2000 on the same WS2003 machine. Recently
there is a problem where the aspnet_wp.exe process is running consistently at
50% CPU for 2 days across 2 CPUs of the server. Over the IE, users are
experiencing this error -> "Timeout, expired. The timeout period elapsed
prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." Tried
to restart the WS2003 and everything is back to normal. Is there anything
wrong with the
aspnet_wp.exe process. How to ensure this problem will not repeat? Also am I
facing some generic problem which other users have faced before? Thanks.

Sounds like you have an ASP.Net page which has an infinite loop that also
sucks up CPU cycles. aspnet_wp.exe is simply a process hosting other
code -- it is likely that the "other code" is causing the timeout and CPU
spike -- but you will have to figure out which.

Try IIS State the next time you get the CPU spike.
