Is ColdFusion taking up 100% of the system's CPU? Or is it IIS or some other
process? To check, hit CTRL + ALT +DEL and see which process has it all.

If it is ColdFusion, 9 times out of 10 it is an infinite loop. If it is IIS,
we mostly seen this occur when the Web server is not able to communicate
with a SQL server for whatever reason.

If you suspect that the latter is the case, make sure you have the latest
MDAC and Jet Engine Drivers and boot both the SQL Server and the Web server.
We've seen SQL Server 6.5 get tied up in knots, but still answered requests.
The ODBC drivers kept tripping over themselves, which cascaded through
ColdFusion and finally manifested itself as something similar to what you
are describing.

If none of these are the solution, you'll have to give us more information.

Anyone had any problems with Cf and 100% CPU utilization in IIS4.0?

I don't think it's CF, but could be I supppose.

Thanks,
