    Nothing in life is ever so complicated that with a little work it can't be made more complicated.

  • Server is infected with a virus and you are relaying Viagra spam

  • There's no such thing as a "general reason" why the load on your server has increased--you need to do some monitoring to find out what's causing it.

  • What made you think on this ???????:discuss:

  • Poor engine handling of SQL code (Recursive CTE's).

    Someone turned page level locking of on an index.

    Someone used explorer to open a folder on the machine where a corrupt file exists.

    Someone is using xp_readerrorlog to read error logs (Version dependant)

    Someone ran a TSQL query from SSMS, hit the stop button but the query keeps running in the background.

    ....And that's only been in the last month....
